It doesn't appear there will be any last-minute injury surprises for tonight's Colts at Broncos matchup to kick off Week 5. Denver quarterback Russell Wilson was limited in practices this week with a sore shoulder but there was never a doubt he would play, and he has no injury designation for the game. We told you yesterday that Colts star running back Jonathan Taylor is out, and that likely is playing a part in the Broncos taking a huge lean on the spread at BetMGM as wel l as Under the total being hammered.
Denver is currently -3.5 and Wilson is 18-24-2 (43%) against the spread as a favorite over the past five seasons, including 0-2 ATS with his new team. Wilson did face the Colts last year in Indianapolis while still with Seattle and was brilliant with four touchdown passes, no picks and a 152.3 rating.
Wilson is 9-2 in 11 career starts on Thursday and has a passer rating of 110 or higher in eight of the nine victories. For tonight, Wilson is set at over/\under 230.5 passing yards, 19.5 completions, 31.5 attempts, 1.5 TD passes and 13.5 rushing yards. Wilson led the Broncos with 29 rushing yards in Sunday's loss to the Raiders.
The Broncos are taking 77% of the money on the spread and 70% of the tickets. However, 55% of moneyline bets are on the Colts at +150. The total dropped to 42.5 with the Taylor injury news and 81% of the money and 80% of the tickets are on the Under.
