Denver closing in on playoff berth
At 8-5, Denver is one of the biggest surprises of the NFL season. Bo Nix passed for 294 yards, a touchdown and two interceptions in a 41-32 Week 13 win over the Browns. The rookie QB has developed a magical connection with Courtland Sutton, who made six receptions for 102 yards in the victory.
While the Broncos defense has carried them for large parts of the season, they fell apart against Cleveland, allowing 552 yards of offense. Luckily, however, they also intercepted Jameis Winston three times, including two pick-sixes. Assuming Sean Payton and defensive coordinator made a few adjustments over the bye week, Denver should be playoff bound.

Indy keeps playoff hopes alive
Anthony Richardson completed just 12 of his 24 passes for 109 yards in a 25-24 win over the Patriots. However, he connected with Alex Pierce for a TD with just 12 seconds remaining before punching in the game-winning two point conversion.
The victory kept Indianapolis’ slim playoff hopes alive. With only four games remaining, Shane Steichen’s team is two wins back of the Texans in the AFC South, while not holding the tiebreaker. They’re also two games back of the 8-5 Broncos, Chargers and Ravens.
Denver vs Indianapolis
Denver is a 4-point home favorite at Mile High Stadium and the over/under is set at 43.5 points. Sean Payton’s club is averaging 23.5 PPG (14th in NFL) versus the Colts’ 20.5 PPG (22nd). Vance Joseph’s defense is allowing the third-fewest points per game (18.0) even after getting lit up by Cleveland in Week 13.
The Broncos are #6 against the run, allowing 94.7 rushing yards per contest. While they rank #20 against the pass, Anthony Richardson is not accurate enough to take advantage of any weaknesses in pass coverage. Meanwhile, Indianapolis is allowing the seventh-most passing yards (232.4) and the third-most rushing yards (147.0) per game in the NFL.

Best Bet
If Denver’s defense can shutdown Jonathan Taylor in the running game and force Anthony Richardson to make plays in the passing game, the Colts will be in trouble. We like the Broncos to cover (-4) with the UNDER 43.5 as Sean Payton’s team takes another step towards the playoffs.
