Colts vs Patriots Prediction Week 9
Colts: 22.6% to win
Patriots: 77.2% to win
Oddsmakers are giving New England the edge in this contest. ESPN's FPI also favors the Patriots, but I find myself leaning the other way. While both of these teams have question marks at the QB position, one has a clear upper hand at RB. Jonathan Taylor is capable of torching a New England defense that ranks outside the top 25 teams in rush defense DVOA rating. Take Colts +5.5 (-110).
