Colts vs. Patriots Prediction: Fading the Colts in Foxborough (NFL Week 9)

The 3-4-1 Indianapolis Colts travel to Foxborough to take on the 4-4 New England Patriots in an AFC showdown.

The Colts' season has unravelled the past few weeks, losing 2 straight and falling further back in the AFC South and the AFC.

QB Sam Ehlinger took over for Matt Ryan last week and almost got a win at home against the Commanders.

But Taylor Heinicke and the Commanders scored a late touchdown to grab the victory from the Colts, dropping them under .500.

The Patriots on the other hand put the embarrassment of Monday Night Football against the Bears behind them and got a decisive victory against the Jets last Sunday.

"I think Mac did a lot of really, really good things on Sunday…it's not always the stuff you see on the @espn highlight reels."

QB Mac Jones didn't do much to inspire in this game but the Patriots defense was stout yet again, picking off QB Zach Wilson 3 times and bottling up the run, all game long.

Will the Colts fall further behind and fully tank their season or will they snag a victory against the Pats in Foxborough?

Prediction

I have seen enough from this Colts team and I am fully fading them until further notice.

This is a bad spot for them, on the road in a tough environment and the Patriots also need to collect wins.

I am going to back Bill Belichick and this Patriots defense at home to confuse Sam Ehlinger and be disruptive all game long.

The Colts are in shambles and that continues Sunday.

Best Bet

Patriots -4.5 (-110)

Props

Rhamondre Stevenson o104.5 Rush/Rec yards (-114)

I love Rhamondre today.

The Colts are tricky to run on but the value that Stevenson provides as a pass catcher as well makes this my fav prop in this game.

He will get plenty of touches and with his dual-threat ability, I love this play.
