Prediction
Colts 33, Raiders 27
Money line (?)
The Raiders, after looking like they were turning a corner, now are coming off two bad games. They lost 43-6 to the Atlanta Falcons in Week 12 and were lucky to beat the winless New York Jets in Week 13 on a deep pass from Carr to WR Henry Ruggs III with 13 seconds left in the game.
Take the COLTS (-170).
Against the spread (?)
Indianapolis Colts Betting Line Tonight
The Colts have covered the spread in three of their last four games. Las Vegas, after covering in four straight, has failed to do so in each of its last two games.
The Colts are 7-4 ATS when favored. Las Vegas is 4-3 ATS as the underdog. With less than a field goal as the spread, it isn’t usually worth going against the money line bet. Take the COLTS -3 (-110).
Over/Under (?)
The projected 51.5 points seems high for this game but both teams combine to average 54 points per game. Indy’s games have gone Over in three of their last four. Eight of the Raiders’ 12 games have gone Over. Expect some firepower, especially in the fourth quarter.
Take OVER 51.5 (-115).

Every year, expectations are given at a team level, position level all the way down to the player-specific level. This was no different for the Indianapolis Colts during the 2020 season.
While expectations can vary depending on one’s outlook of a player, there is a general sense of those who overachieved and those who underachieved in any given campaign.’
Here are four players who exceeded expectations for the Colts in 2020:
1 CB Xavier Rhodes
Probably the easiest player to name for this list. Rhodes was brought in on a one-year deal to replace Pierre Desir, who was released in order to make room for the former. It was a risky move considering the level of play Rhodes showed in 2019.
But that move paid off big time for the Colts. Rhodes enjoyed an incredibly strong bounce-back season manning the secondary for Indy, especially at a time when the depth was pretty thin. Rhodes became the CB1 on the boundary quickly and proved he was well worth the investment on a one-year deal.
On 80 targets, Rhodes allowed a 51.3% completion rate and a 78.3 passer rating, per Pro Football Focus in 2020.
2 S Julian Blackmon

Despite tearing his ACL in December 2019, Blackmon was on the field making a major impact by Week 3 when Malik Hooker suffered an unfortunate Achilles injury. Blackmon stepped in right away and made big plays to help the Colts win early in the season.
Blackmon’s season tailed off a bit toward the end during the second half. He had some issues with angles and missed tackles, but what he showed during the first half of the season proves the Colts have a promising piece in the secondary next to Khari Willis.
3 RT Braden Smith
Imagn Database
This is a bit interesting because Smith was a player we had tabbed (like many) as a breakout candidate in 2020. He had been ascending over the last two seasons as the right tackle, and it seemed like this was the year he would make the jump into another tier.
He did just that. Smith was an anchor on the right side of the line both in pass protection and when it came to moving people in the run game. His technique is becoming more consistent and it led to him not allowing a sack on 578 pass-blocking snaps, per Pro Football Focus. On top of that, he allowed just one quarterback hit throughout the entire season.
Smith will be coming up on a contract extension soon and with the way he has been playing, its going to be a nice one.
4 S George Odum

Odum has quietly been an important part of the roster since he earned a spot in 2018 as an undrafted rookie. Though his role on the defense has been more in the reserve capacity, Odum’s presence on special teams has been incredible.
The latter part of his game finally took a step forward in 2020 as he was named a First-Team All-Pro for his efforts on special teams. Though he snubbed a Pro Bowl selection, getting the nod from the Associated Press and the PFWA on their All-NFL team means more.
Odum exceeded expectations for his work on special teams. We knew he was impactful in that phase of the game but he turned out to be an elite talent during the 2020 season.
