Week 15 was another eventful weekend of games across the NFL, and this week should be no different. This Monday, we are getting back on the Same Game Parlay train, this time for a battle between the Los Angeles Chargers and Indianapolis Colts. With kickoff set for 8:15 pm ET on ESPN, it's time to forecast the action.
Here is our SGP, and also be sure to keep an eye on our NFL picks for every game this season!
Part of the value in Same Game Parlays, of course, is that all of its components can be correlated if you so choose. However, it actually adds more value if you can predict the game script that both teams will want to play. Let's break down each of these legs one by one.
Indianapolis Colts +4 (-110)
This is a strange spot for both teams. The Chargers are in the midst of a run that has all but secured them a trip to the postseason, but it hasn’t been easy. Los Angeles is still winning games close, as has become a yearly tradition for this embattled franchise. That alone is enough to give me pause in laying the points here, but it’s also a good situational spot to look at Indianapolis. The Colts just surrendered the biggest comeback in NFL history against the Vikings and will have had 9 days to think about it. Now, Indianapolis is turning to Nick Foles at quarterback, which might give this otherwise middling offense a shot in the arm. Furthermore, this is the first home game in a month for a Colts team that has consistently covered the spread at home this season. Don’t be surprised if we see another one possession win for the Chargers, or even an outright victory for Indy.
