The Indianapolis Colts travel to Denver to take on the Broncos in Week 15.
The Colts are trying to make a run at the Broncos' wild-card playoff spot in which they trail Denver by two games. Meanwhile, the Broncos could shoot up to as high as the No. 4 seed if everything falls right for them. Each offense has plenty of playmakers, making for some intriguing prop bets. Here are our top ones for this matchup.
*Odds subject to change
Broncos QB Bo Nix OVER 234.5 passing yards (-117) – Caesars Sportsbook
Nix has come a long way from the beginning of the season and is looking to secure the AFC Rookie of the Year award. He continues to get more comfortable in coach Sean Payton's offense each week.
Nix has thrown for over 234 yards in each of his last three games. This week he faces a Colts' defense that ranks 26th against the pass, so he shouldn't have much problem hitting that yardage mark again in this matchup.
Colts RB Jonathan Taylor UNDER 75.5 rushing yards (-120) – DraftKings
Taylor was able to rack up 96 rushing yards last week, but it took him 25 carries to get there. Over his last three games, Taylor is averaging just 3.1 yards per carry and has been held under 76 yards in three of his last five games.
This week he faces a Broncos defense that ranks sixth in the NFL against the run, and Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson is always a threat to take carries away from Taylor.
Broncos WR Courtland Sutton OVER 69.5 receiving yards (-115) – DraftKings
Sutton has quietly been one of the most productive wide receivers in the league over the past two months. He is on pace to eclipse 1,000 receiving yards on the season and has gone over 69 yards in each of his last six games.
Sutton and Nix have established a great chemistry as Sutton is averaging nine targets per game. The Colts' defense has allowed the sixth-most receiving yards in the NFL this year.
Colts QB Anthony Richardson UNDER 188.5 passing yards (-117) – Caesars Sportsbook
Richardson has gone back to struggling over each of the past two weeks, throwing for just 172 and 109 yards over that span. He has a horrible 47 percent completion percentage on the season, and has thrown more interceptions (9) than touchdowns (7).
The Broncos are allowing 6.7 yards per completion, the third-lowest in the league. Richardson just can't be trusted enough to place any money on.
