NFL Week 12 Sunday Fun-day Play – Colts vs Chiefs – Sports Betting

Colts vs Chiefs -3.5 O/U 50.5

📍 Game Details

  • Matchup: Indianapolis Colts (8-2) vs. Kansas City Chiefs (5-5)

  • Date/Time: Sunday, November 23, 2025, 1:00 PM ET

  • Venue: GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium, Kansas City, MO

  • Broadcast: CBS

 

📊 Team Records & Win Probability

  • Colts: 8–2 record, 38.2% win probability

  • Chiefs: 5–5 record, 61.8% win probability

 

🔥 Betting Lines

  • Spread: Chiefs -3.5

  • Moneyline: Chiefs -187, Colts +156

  • Over/Under: 49.5 points

🏈 Team Records & Context

  • Colts (8-2): Leading the AFC South, Indianapolis has shocked the league with its offensive dominance. They rank first in points per game (32.1) and yards per play (6.4).

  • Chiefs (5-5): The reigning AFC champions are struggling, having lost two straight (Broncos, Bills). Their playoff streak is in jeopardy.

 

🔑 Key Matchups

  • Jonathan Taylor vs. Chiefs Run Defense: KC ranks 24th in defensive rush EPA, a glaring weakness against Taylor, who leads the NFL with 1,139 rushing yards.

  • Patrick Mahomes vs. Colts Secondary: Mahomes remains the X-factor. Despite KC’s struggles, his ability to extend plays could exploit Indy’s defense.

  • QB Duel: Gardner Minshew (Indy) has thrived in Shane Steichen’s system, while Mahomes is trying to drag KC back into contention

 

📈 Team Stats (Season Averages)

Category Colts Chiefs
Points per game 32.1 (1st NFL) 25.4 (9th NFL)
Passing yards 251.6 248.9
Rushing yards 145.3 (3rd NFL) 115.3

⭐ Key Players

  • Colts:

    • QB Daniel Jones – 2,659 passing yards

    • RB Jonathan Taylor – 1,139 rushing yards, 15 TDs

    • WR Michael Pittman Jr. – 6 receiving TDs

  • Chiefs:

    • QB Patrick Mahomes – 2,625 passing yards, 18 TDs

    • RB Kareem Hunt – 353 rushing yards, 6 TDs

    • TE Travis Kelce – 631 receiving yards, 4 TDs

Prediction:

  • When do numbers matter?  I mean, we are 12 weeks into the NFL season and the perception of this Chiefs team is still over-bloated.  
  • The Colts have the number 1 team in EPA throughout the season.   The Chiefs are sitting right behind them at number 2, but that doesn’t get me to this large spread.
  • Looking on the other side of the ball, the Colts rank number 10 in defensive EPA while the Chiefs are 14th.
  • It is fair to say that the Chiefs have had a much harder strength of schedule, but the big Colts wins against the Chargers, the Broncos and the Cardinals have aged pretty well.   
  • Believe it or not, the Chiefs weakness is on defense against the run ranking only a mere 24th in defensive rush EPA.   They allow 4.18 yards per rush and that is not a good number against the best running back in the world in Jonathan Taylor.   
  • Daniel Jones has seemed to grow up at quarterback ranking 4th in EPA + Completion percentage over expectation.  Mahomes ranks 7th.   
  • Colts are coming off of the bye week refreshed and sniffing a number one seed in the playoffs.   Take the Ponies.

Colts +3.5 – 2 stars

Tennessee vs Florida +4.5 O/U 57.5

 

Tennessee vs Florida is set for Saturday, Nov. 22, 2025 at 7:30 p.m. ET in Gainesville. The No. 20 Volunteers (7-3, 3-3 SEC) are favored, but history shows Florida (3-7, 2-5 SEC) has dominated this rivalry at home, winning 10 straight in The Swamp since 2003.

 

🔑 Key Storylines

  • Historic Struggles for Tennessee in Gainesville The Vols haven’t won at Florida since 2003, dropping 10 straight road games in the series. Florida has won 17 of the last 20 overall matchups.  

  • Florida’s Motivation Despite a disappointing season (3-7), the Gators are embracing the spoiler role. Interim coach Billy Gonzales leads a team that wants to protect home turf and ruin Tennessee’s finish.

  • Tennessee’s Stakes At 7-3, Tennessee is out of the College Football Playoff race but still ranked No. 20. A win would secure momentum heading into their final rivalry game against Vanderbilt and potentially improve bowl positioning.

  • Coaching Drama in Gainesville Florida fired Billy Napier in October, leaving Gonzales in charge. The offense has struggled since, but rivalry games often bring surprises.

📊 Team Comparison

Category Tennessee Volunteers Florida Gators
Record 7–3 (3–3 SEC) 3–7 (2–5 SEC)
Points per Game 43.4 20.8
Passing Yards/Game 318.3 217.1
Rushing Yards/Game 176.7 122.4

Opponent Rushing Yards/Game 130.1 143.2

🔑 Key Players

Tennessee

  • QB Joey Aguilar: 2,941 passing yards, 22 TD, 10 INT

  • RB DeSean Bishop: 770 rushing yards, 10 TD

  • WR Chris Brazzell II: 873 receiving yards, 8 TD

  • LB Edwin Spillman: 65 tackles

  • DL Dominic Bailey: 6 sacks

Florida

  • QB DJ Lagway: 1,980 passing yards, 12 TD, 13 INT

  • RB Jadan Baugh: 808 rushing yards, 6 TD

  • WR Vernell Brown III: 473 receiving yards

  • LB Myles Graham: 55 tackles

  • EDGE Kamran James: 4 sacks

Prediction:  

  • In college football sometimes stats do not matter all that much.  This rivalry has been huge for many many years.   The problem for the Vols is that this game is in Florida.
  • The last time Tennessee beat Florida in Gainesville (The Swamp) was on September 20, 2003!  That is 22 years ago.
  • Look at the ATS history in this game at both locations, Florida has covered six out of the last seven.
  • In saying all that, the Vols also are not exactly a world beater this year.
  • Let’s now bring some numbers in the equation either way.   This Vols team has a pretty bad defense ranking 109th in success rate and 65th in defensive EPA.   Their offense is good, but they are not a team that anyone would want to lay points with.
  • Tennessee has also had some road struggles against Alabama and Mississippi State where they were very fortunate to win that game outright.
  • I think the play is the Gators, and we have 22 years of history here on our side.

Florida +4.5 – 2.5 stars

Missouri State vs Kennesaw State -6.5 O/U 57.5

  • Going back to the fade train here.
  • Don’t get me wrong.  I like this Feisty Owls team that has been playing some great ball in conference USA, but I really do not understand how they can be playing six points to the Missouri State Bears.
  • One big thing that I like to look for in my handicapping is improvement.   Since losing to SMU, the Bears have won six of their last seven games with wins against Liberty and FIU.
  • The Owls were on a similar run themselves, but they just got a reality check last week against the Jaguars.
  • If you go back a little farther, the Owls probably should not have beaten a UTEP team that was pretty much officiating out of the game.   UTEP actually won the box score there.
  • The Bears have a solid passing offense ranking 64th in drop back EPA.   This is where they can find success as the Owls only rank 105th in opponent passing success rate.   I see a close game here.  Take the Bears to cover.

Missouri State +6.5 – 2 stars
