NFL Week Seventeen - Indianapolis Colts vs Buffalo Bills
By Matt Knowles on 2010-01-03 17:00:00
Indianapolis travel to Buffalo tonight in a game neither side needs to win. The Colts have long secured the AFC South and home-field advantage but last week lost their perfect record to New York to fall to 14-1. They benched many of their starters in that game and may do so again, meaning Buffalo, at 5-10, have a chance of getting a great result today to finish on a high in a season that they will want to forget.
Due to the fact that the Colts are probably going to field an understrength team, Buffalo go into the game as favourites on the money line at -400 (bet $400 to win $100 profit), leaving Indianapolis as underdogs at +333 (bet $100 to win $333 profit). Betting on the money line has been almost unanimously in favour of the Colts, with 99% of money backing the visitors.
The point spread for the game has been set at 8.5 points, making the Bills underdogs at -8.5 points and giving the Colts a handicap of +8.5 points. Betting on the spread has also focused mainly on the Colts, with 78% of action so far. Last time the sides met was in 2006 and Indianapolis came out on top, winning 17-16.
Indianapolis have been far better on the field this season than they have against the spread, covering at 10-5 despite winning at 14-1. Buffalo, however, have managed to improve on their poor showing on the field by covering at 7-8 while winning at 5-10.
The Over/Under line for the game has been set at 34 points and betting so far has seen 67% of money backing the Under. This seems reasonable, as the teams combined have recorded thirteen Overs and seventeen Unders in their combined thirty decisions so far this season.
The Colts have been impressive this season and the bookmakers have responded by making them favourites for the Super Bowl at 3/1.
