How to Bet on the Indianapolis Colts
Every major sportsbook offers these bet types on every Indianapolis Colts game. Below are the most important markets and how to approach them for NFL games.
Point Spread
The NFL's defining bet. Standard juice -110 both sides. Spreads typically range from -1 to -14. Key numbers in the NFL are 3 (field goal) and 7 (touchdown). Pay extra attention when buying points around those numbers.
Moneyline
Pick the winner straight up. Heavy favorites (-350 or more) rarely offer value. Underdogs +200 to +400 are where sharp bettors find edge; NFL upsets happen ~33% of the time.
Over/Under Totals
NFL totals range 36–56 depending on matchup. Check weather reports: wind over 15 mph and heavy precipitation both push unders. Domes and warm weather push overs.
Player Props
QB passing yards and TDs, RB rushing yards, WR receiving yards and receptions. Anytime TD scorer is the single most popular NFL prop, typically +150 to +500 for skill players.
Same Game Parlays (SGP)
The NFL has the most developed SGP market. Correlated legs (team ML + QB over pass yards + receiving TD) pay better than uncorrelated parlays. Avoid 5+ legs; EV drops fast.
Teaser Bets
Adjust multiple spreads in your favor by a fixed number. 6-point teasers through 3 and 7 (Wong teasers) have been historically profitable. A 7-point teaser makes a -3.5 favorite into a -10.5 favorite, with corresponding odds.
Super Bowl Futures
Preseason Super Bowl odds are typically where the best value lives. The Super Bowl champion has come from the top 5 preseason favorites in ~60% of years.
