Prediction:
- When do numbers matter?Β I mean, we are 12 weeks into the NFL season and the perception of this Chiefs team is still over-bloated.Β Β
- The Colts have the number 1 team in EPA throughout the season.Β Β 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.Β Β
- Believe it or not, the Chiefs weakness is on defense against the run ranking only a mere 24th in defensive rush EPA.Β Β 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.Β Β
- Daniel Jones has seemed to grow up at quarterback ranking 4th in EPA + Completion percentage over expectation.Β Mahomes ranks 7th.Β Β
- Colts are coming off of the bye week refreshed and sniffing a number one seed in the playoffs.Β Β Take the Ponies.
Colts +3.5 – 2 stars
