Colts vs Bills Betting Pick
This game will be played at 1:00 PM ET at Highmark Stadium on Sunday, November 21, 2021.
Why Bet The Bills:
✅ This is a bad matchup for the Colts. Indianapolis relies on their running game to unlock the vertical passing game, but the Bills have the best defense in the league in terms of yards per play allowed, which will put the Colts in a lot of obvious passing situations. That will mean a lot of interceptable balls from Wentz.
✅ Buffalo is 3-1 at home on the season, with their lone loss coming to the Steelers in a fluky game in Week 1. Since then, the Bills have covered the spread in all three of their home games, winning each game by at least 15 points, albeit against unimpressive competition. The Bills will cover for a fourth straight home game here.

✅ If you look at the wins for the Colts this year during their 5-5 start through any sort of critical lens, it is very difficult to be impressed. They have beaten the Dolphins, Texans, Jets and Jaguars, who may be the four worst teams in the NFL. Their lone impressive win in San Francisco was aided by heavy rain that prompted several San Francisco turnovers, which won’t be available here against the Bills.
Indianapolis Colts
The Indianapolis Colts have won two straight games to get back to .500 on the season. After beating the New York Jets on Thursday Night Football in Week 9, the Colts beat the Jaguars in Week 10 to move to 5-5 on the season. This week, the Colts will look to pick up their biggest win of the season in order to move above .500 as they look to keep climbing in the AFC Wild Card race.
For the Colts, the key to this game is going to be moving the ball on early downs against a stingy Bills defense. Indianapolis’ identity is centered around running the ball with Jonathan Taylor, which sets them up in advantageous situations as far as the down and distance are concerned. If they fail to do that against arguably the best defense in the NFL, the Colts could be in for a long afternoon.
Buffalo Bills
The Buffalo Bills got back on track last week, beating the New York Jets after losing to the Jacksonville Jaguars the week before. Buffalo was never challenged by the Jets, picking off four Mike White passes to keep themselves in control throughout. But the Bills will need to avoid a slow start offensively if they are going to avoid being upset at home for the first time since Week 1 against Pittsburgh.
Also important for the Bills and Colts will be how well they adjust to a step up in competition early in this game. Both teams have played the Jaguars and Jets in back to back games, and will face a much more capable opponent this week. A fast start for either side could be what decides this contest.
