#241 ASA PLAY ON 8* Indianapolis Colts -1 -120 over New England Patriots, Sunday at 9:30AM ET – Game being played in Germany - Obviously, a long travel situation for both teams as this game is being played in Deutsche Bank Park in Germany. The Colts offense is the 7th highest scoring in the league at 25.8PPG and this unit has topped 20+ points in ten straight games. Last week against Carolina the Colts had two pick 6’s by the defense and took a conservative approach with their gameplan and QB Minshew. Minshew had thrown 5 INT’s in three games prior to the Panther game so expect a heavy dose of the running game with Taylor and Moss. New England, particularly QB Mac Jones and the offense have been pathetic this season ranking 24th in DVOA, 27th in YPG gained, 28th in rushing YPG and 21st in passing YPG. The Pats are 31st in the league in scoring at 15PPG. New England doesn’t possess the weapons on offense to exploit the Colts weakness on defense which is their secondary that has been decimated by injuries this season. This is not your old New England Patriots. Since Tom Brady left New England in 2020 the Pats are 27-33 SU. QB Mac Jones is clearly not the answer with a league leading 9 INT’s this season and QBR of 40.3. As a dog he has been horrendous with a 3-16 SU/4-15 ATS record in his career. He has just one cover in his last 14 starts as an underdog. New England has some internal issues with players/coaches and owner/Belichick as rumors are starting to swirl about him getting fired. Favorites in overseas games are 32-10-1 SU and with this number being as low as it is we will back the Colts to get the win and cover.
