Mile High Report

In the most important game of the year for both the Denver Broncos and Indianapolis Colts, the line is pretty close. When we get into the playoff elimination part of the regular seasons, we tend to see how teams perform with their backs against the wall. For this game, that advantage goes to the Colts whose backs are truly against the wall in this one.
According to FanDuel, the Broncos are 3.5-point favorites against the Colts in Week 15. The over/under stands at 44.5 for this matchup.

This is a game that Denver also has to have, but their backs are not necessarily against the wall in actuality. That happens if they lose this game and provide the Colts with the tie-breaker.
To beat the Colts, Bo Nix and the Broncos offense just has to exploit a defense that has plenty of problems. They give up the sixth-most yards per attempt in the passing game and the second-most rushing yards in the NFL — though just the 12th most rushing yards per attempt.
In short, the Colts defense provides Sean Payton with ample wiggle room to game plan a way to exploit those issues. They absolutely must have this game. Beat the Colts and the only team they have to worry about down the stretch would be the Miami Dolphins if they beat the Houston Texans this weekend.
