Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s'lines around the Colts vs. Giants'odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.
The Colts currently are on a 5-game losing streak and have been eliminated from playoff contention. The preseason favorite to win the AFC South has underperformed and have many questioning the future of this team. The Colts are in 3rd place in the division, only 2 games ahead of the Houston Texans (2-12-1), and won’t be as focused in winning this game as they are looking toward to the offseason and the draft.
The Giants can secure the 6th seed in the NFC by simply winning Sunday. They missed the opportunity to clinch a playoff spot last Saturday, falling at the Minnesota Vikings 27-24 on a game-ending 61-yard field goal, but they covered the spread as 4.5-point underdogs. New York is 3rd in the NFC East behind the Philadelphia Eagles (13-2) and Dallas Cowboys (12-4), who have both clinched playoff berths.
