At the midway point in the regular season, the Indianapolis Colts (4-2) will be hosting the Denver Broncos (2-5) at Lucas Oil Stadium on Sunday.
The Colts are relatively heavy favorites for the home matchup having come off of two impressive wins against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 5 and the Houston Texans in Week 7 following the bye.
Here’s how some of the experts around the league view the outcome:

Almost all of the experts around the NFL are taking the Colts in this matchup. With Jacoby Brissett coming off the best game of his career and the defense improving every week, the Colts are one of the locks against a Broncos team that is struggling.
It also doesn’t help the Broncos offense that wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders was traded away. That makes for one less explosive player the Colts have to worry about on defense.
The Colts are likely to be heavy favorites going into the weekend as most of the experts believe Indy should grab their fifth win of the season.
