Few teams in the NFL have made for better bets than the Indianapolis Colts this season.

The Colts sit at 7-3-1 against the spread after last week’s 23-20 loss-but-cover as a closing 4.5-point underdog at the Kansas City Chiefs – a fraction behind the Los Angeles Rams and Seattle Seahawks at 8-3 versus the number.

But Indianapolis gets bonus points by becoming the first team to eclipse its preseason win total, over/under 7.5 victories, by beating Atlanta 31-25 as closing 6-point favorites in Berlin three weeks ago .

The Colts (8-3 straight-up) were as high as 6-to-1 to win the AFC South coming into the season but now sit as low as -250 (i.e. risking $250 to win $100).

They’d be even higher if not for the fact that few teams in the NFL are hotter than the divisional-rival Houston Texans.
