NFL Lines & Point Spreads: Indianapolis Colts vs. New Orleans Saints

The Indianapolis Colts visit the New Orleans Saints on Sunday at Louisiana Superdome, in a Sunday Night Football betting game televised on ESPN.

With the Saints dropping a tough one in Tampa and returning home for the first time in a month, the knee-jerk reaction would be to lay the two touchdowns in this Sunday night closer.

In fact, if you’re like Faith Hill (that’s what I tell my wife when she brings up the life insurance payments), you’ve probably been ‘waiting all day for Sunday night.’

It figures to be an easy chance to close out the week with a win, especially with the Colts 0-6 SU and ‘ITS’ this betting season.

But hold on, cowboy! During the month of October, the Saints come marching in with a 0-14 ATS mark at home versus an opponent off a SU non-division loss.

To make matters worse, QB Drew Brees is 1-3 SU and 0-4 ATS in his career as a double-digit favorite off a SU loss.

Add Indy HC Jim Caldwell’s 7-4 SU and 9-1-1 ATS record on the road versus .500 or greater opposition and you might want to think long and hard before laying this kind of wood.

We say grab the boatload and put your ‘Faith’ in the Colts.
