Thursday Night Lock (NFL Week 9)

Jets @ Colts (-10), O/U 45.5

All aboard the Mike White hype train!!! Not quite.

I’m all for a nice feel-good story, and that’s what last week was for this guy. Could he back it up with a second fantastic performance? Sure he could. Is it more likely that he gets crushed by a solid defense on the road, in primetime, with a short week? Yeah, I think so.

A heartbreaking loss last week for the Colts combined with the upset of the win with the Jets win has created the perfect storm for a line that has been adjusted due to recency bias. I don’t expect this one to be close. I expect the Colts to smother the Jets on defense. I expect them to score enough on offense. And I’ll gladly lay the 10 points with the Colts here.

Picks: Colts -10 (Deadbolt), OVER 45.5 (Padlock)
