Colts at Broncos: Predictions, picks, odds for NFL Week 15 game
The Indianapolis Colts (6-7) and Denver Broncos (8-5) didn't reach the playoffs last season, but they both could make a giant leap toward making the postseason when they meet in Week 15.
Before it had last week off, Indianapolis got a much-needed victory it squeaked by the New England Patriots to keep the playoff hope alive. Anthony Richardson has started to play improved ball since he returned to the starting role and he can show even more progress going against one of the better defenses in the league.
The last time we saw Denver, the defense was giving up points but scoring as well in a wild "Monday Night Football" win over the Cleveland Browns. It marked the third straight win for a Broncos team that has surprised many people in the NFL as a bona fide playoff contender that can go up against pretty much anyone. With a tough end-of-season schedule ahead, the Broncos will take any and all wins they can.

Lorenzo Reyes: Broncos 25, Colts 16
Both these teams are coming off their byes, so that’s a bit of a wash. That said, as much as I like the dynamic, play-making ability Anthony Richardson brings, I feel like Denver’s defense is one that can force him into turnovers.
Tyler Dragon: Broncos 24, Colts 21
This AFC game has playoff implications. The Broncos are clinging to the seventh and final wild-card spot in the AFC. While the Colts are the first team out at No. 8. The Broncos are currently playing better football.
Richard Morin: Broncos 20, Colts 15
Don't go against Bo!
Jordan Mendoza: Broncos 29, Colts 26
Denver's offense has been on fire in recent weeks and it goes up against a Colts defense that isn't one of the strongest units in the NFL. Bo Nix and Courtland Sutton continue to make a case as another lethal combo in another Broncos win.
