Here is why Tom Blair is going with Indianapolis:
“Teams have enjoyed more success throwing the ball against Arizona (averaging 252.4 passing yards this season) than running it (92.4 rushing yards), suggesting this might be more of a Jones game than a Jonathan Taylor showcase,” Blair wrote.
CBS Sports
Put Pete Prisco down for the Colts as well — although he thinks it will be a closer game with Indianapolis winning by three.
“The Colts impressed in beating the Raiders last week, while Arizona is coming off the type of loss to the Titans that can demoralize a team.” Prisco wrote. “This will be a real challenge for the Arizona defense and I think Daniel Jones will continue to play well. Colts take it.”
