This Indianapolis-Denver same-game parlay features just three legs, but still offers juicy +310 odds. We’ll start by backing Denver at home on the moneyline, where they are undefeated so far this season.

Denver Broncos Moneyline

The Broncos took down Houston at Empower Field at Mile High in Week 2 and squeaked past San Francisco there in Week 3. The Broncos are currently -3.5 point favorites on TNF, which gives them an implied win probability of 61.5%.

We believe their actual chances of winning this game are even higher, especially given the injuries that Indy is dealing with – more on that later.

The Colts rank dead last overall per DVOA, and have scored the fewest points in football. They’re averaging the seventh fewest yards per play, and have turned only 46% of their red zone trips into touchdowns.

In 2020, Philip Rivers took 19 sacks, losing 118 yards in 16 games.

In 2022, Matt Ryan has taken 15 sacks, losing 117 yards in four games.

The Broncos are also off to an underwhelming start, but their offense showed signs of life last week. Denver put up 23 points on the road in Las Vegas, a full touchdown more than they’d scored in any of their three previous games. Indy is stout against the run but vulnerable against the pass. This should set up Russell Wilson for success, who threw for 237 yards and a season-high 2 TD last week.

Defensively, they took a step back against the Raiders, but this is still a very talented unit. Denver ranks eighth on that side of the ball per DVOA, and has surrendered the fifth fewest points in the NFL so far.

Russell Wilson Over 219.5 Passing Yards

Wilson’s passing yards over/under in the Colts vs Broncos player props is currently 230.5. We’re opting to take a slightly less aggressive line at 219.5, which Russ should have no problem clearing.

The Colts rank second in rush defense per DVOA but 27th versus the pass. They feature the league’s sixth lowest-graded coverage unit per Pro Football Focus, and a bottom-four pass rush.

Denver’s last handful of quarterbacks never would have converted this drive into a touchdown.

Wilson should have all day to throw and will likely take to the air more often than in previous games. That’s because lead RB Javonte Williams is done for the season, and the Broncos are sick of Melvin Gordon’s fumbling issues.

Courtland Sutton and Jerry Jeudy give Wilson two above-average receiving weapons capable of running circles around Indy’s DBs.

Indianapolis Colts Under 21.5 Points

Jonathan Taylor, aka the number one or two pick in fantasy this season, is out for this game per the Colts vs Broncos injury report. That removes Indy’s number one skill position player from their lineup and places a much bigger emphasis on Matt Ryan’s arm.

Colts ruled out Jonathan Taylor for Thursday night’s game in Denver.

That’s exactly what you want if you’re a Denver fan. The Broncos rank fourth in coverage and fifth in pass rush productivity per PFF, while Ryan has the fifth-worst passing grade among starting quarterbacks. The Colts have yet to exceed 20 points all season, while no team in football allows a lower touchdown rate in the red zone than Denver (33.3%).

It’s no surprise given the information above, that one of our NFL experts is hammering the under in the Colts vs Broncos picks.
