The Indianapolis Colts will face the Atlanta Falcons for their Week 10 matchup, live from Olympic Stadium Berlin in Berlin, Germany, for an international matchup. The Colts have been one of the best teams in the NFL and are 7-2 for the season, but are coming off a recent loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 9. While their QB1 Daniel Jones has been terrific this season, he threw 3 interceptions last game and only 1 TD on 50 attempts, indicating a middle of the season slump. Similarly, Jonathan Taylor is coming off his worst game , putting up only 45 yards on no TDs. The Colts are still leading the AFC South and are one of the best teams in the NFL, despite their two losses.
The Atlanta Falcons are 3-5 for the season and nothing has been going right for them recently. After an impressive win against the Buffalo Bills in Week 5, they have lost 3 straight games to the 49ers, Dolphins, and Patriots. They are coming off a recent loss to the Patriots, in a very close game, despite Michael Penix Jr. putting up 3 TDs. Something needs to change for Atlanta, as they are two games below .500 and could miss out on the playoffs as Week 10 is already here.
| Recommended Bets | Fanduel | BetMGM |
|---|---|---|
| Jonathan Taylor anytime TD | -330 | -325 |
| Michael Penix Jr. Over 225.5 passing yards | -114 | -115 |
| Daniel Jones under 32.5 passing attempts | -146 | -130 |
Jonathan Taylor is threat to score at any given moment, looking at the fact that Taylor is leading the league in rushing TDs with 12 and has scored at least one touchdown in the last 4/5 games. The Falcons’ rushing defense has also taken a huge hit, sitting at 23rd in the league and we expect Taylor to have a tremendous game.
Michael Penix Jr. should be able to get over 225.5 passing yards as he’s had games over this threshold for 4 of 7 games so far. He’s also had 4 games over 200+ passing yards in the last four games. Looking at the Colts’ terrible pass defense, ranking 26th, Penix Jr. should be able to cross 225.5 passing yards, especially if the game gets close.
Daniel Jones should remain under 32.5 passing attempts as he’s coming off a 50 passing attempts game, where he threw 3 interceptions against the Steelers. Jones has only 4 games where he’s gone beyond 32.5 passing attempts, and looking at the Falcons’ stout passing defense, ranking 1st, we expect the Colts to run the football more than pass.
We expect the Colts to walk away with a victory because of the Falcons‘ 3-game losing streak and the Colts’ unstoppable rushing game, led by Jonathan Taylor. While the Falcons may contain Daniel Jones and his passing game, according to the stats and the ratings, Atlanta may not have an answer for Taylor, who’s leading the league in TDs and rush yards.
Prediction: Colts win the game 28-21
