This is definitely the game of the week as you can expect points to be put up in this one. The Colts come into this game the hottest team in the league winning 10 of their last 11 games. The Colts dominated the Texans last week from start to finish confusing quarterback Deshaun Watson while the offense methodically picked a part the Texans defense early before being shut out in the second half. Andrew Luck is back to his pre injury self and may very well be even better. Luck in any other season would be a favorite for MVP if it wasn’t for the quarterback on the other side Patrick Mahomes who threw for 5,097 yards and 50 touchdowns in what has been a dominant season for the first year starter. The keys for the Colts in this game is simple ride Marlon Mack who has been an underrated back this season finishing with 908 games on 4.7 yards per carry. Give him the ball keep Mahomes and company off the field and hope their defense can force a turnover or two.

For the Chiefs they will need their defense to put their best effort together against an offense that can be almost as potent as the Chiefs offense. If the Chiefs defense can make a play or two, that should take pressure off the offense. The Colts defense can’t just sit in Tampa 2 zone coverage like they did last week against Houston because Mahomes will pick them apart which is what I believe he will do as I’m picking the Chiefs in a shootout..
Colts- 31 Chiefs-35
