One month left in the NFL regular season and we still have two undefeated teams.
The Colts are one of two teams that are 12-0 (the New Orleans Saints are the other). Is this the weekend the mighty fall? Indy should have a battle on their hands as they host the 8-4 Denver Broncos. The sports betting community isn’t giving the Broncos much of a chance so far, as online sportsbook SPORTSBETTING.com is reporting a little over 70% of the betting volume on the Colts.
Indianapolis are home favorites of 7.5-points with an Over/Under set at 44.
NFL Trends:
- Indy has the edge in the last eight games overall against the Broncos, going 6-2 against the spread (ATS).
- Indy is also 6-2 ATS in their last eight home games against Denver.
Over/Under Trends:
The “Over” has a couple of trends worth noting in this matchup.
- The last five meetings between these two have produced five straight Overs.
- The Broncos have a record of 7 Overs and 3 Unders the last 10 times they’ve faced an AFC South opponent.
SPORTSBETTING.com is reporting 68% of the Total betting action has come in on the “Over” in this one.
San Diego at Dallas:
With all due respect to the Saints and Colts, the San Diego Chargers are the hottest team in the NFL.
After starting the season 2-3 (SU), the Chargers have proceeded to rattle off seven-straight SU wins and have overtaken the Denver Broncos for top spot in the AFC West.
San Diego will make its first trip to the new Cowboys Stadium and will be 3-point ‘dogs going in with a Total of 48.5.
The Chargers are 7-0 SU in their last seven and have been almost as impressive ATS at 5-2.
Whether at the old Cowboys Stadium or the new, Dallas is 8-2 SU in its last 10 at home while 7-3 ATS.
But this is December and you know what that means in Dallas… losing football. The Cowboys sport a dismal record of 1-10 ATS in their last 11 games in December. Yeah, that’s right, they’re 1-10 against the number in their last 11 starts in December, including a loss last week.
San Diego have been stars for bettors in this spot, underdogs of 4-points or less, as they have produced a mark of 10-3-2 ATS in their last 15 in this situation.
The betting action has been pretty even, with a slight nod to the underdog, as the Chargers have received 53% of the betting volume so far.
This will be one of the heaviest wagered on games of the weekend by the time they kick-off, as the Cowboys always attract a ton of betting attention and the Chargers are a high profile team right now.
Should be a great game on a week that has several good matchups to boast about.
Enjoy all the action and have a good weekend.
