Colts vs Rams Guest Expert Predictions

Point Spread Pick
LA Rams -3.5(-105)

The expectations heading into the season on the Colts were grim as the quarterback preseason battle came down to Anthony Richardson and Daniel Jones. After Richardson suffered an injury in the first exhibition contest, Jones was inserted and solidified the starting position. Following a rocky tenure with the Giants, Jones has led the Colts to a 3-0 record and the lead atop the AFC South. Indianapolis grabbed a pair of home victories over Miami and Denver before routing Tennessee last week, 41-20, as 6-point road favorites. Colts RB Jonathan Taylor leads the NFL in rushing with 338 yards and scored 3 touchdowns in the blowout of the Titans.

The Rams return home after a crushing loss at Philadelphia last week, blowing a 26-7 advantage in a 33-26 defeat. We all know the devastating point-spread loss on Los Angeles, which was receiving 3.5 points but allowed Philadelphia to return the last-second blocked field goal for a touchdown and the cover. Los Angeles is already playing its 3rd game against an AFC South opponent, beating Houston and Tennessee in the first 2 weeks. The Rams allowed 28 points in those victories and yielded 7 points in the first half against the Eagles. However, Philadelphia dropped 26 points in the 2nd half, marking its second victory over LA since the divisional playoffs in January.

The Colts have faced 3 teams that rank in the bottom half of the NFL in yards per game, but take on a Rams squad that sits 5th in the league at 363.7 yards per contest. On the flip side, LA has seen 3 teams that rank in the bottom 6 of the NFL in yardage. The Rams are 3-1 in their last 4 games as a home favorite since the start of 2024. The Colts are in the midst of a 2-4 SU and 4-2 ATS stretch in their past 6 opportunities as a road underdog. Since 2013, 3-0 teams listed as road underdogs have slumped to a 3-11 ATS mark, which includes 10 losses by 8 points or more. With that in mind, I like the Rams to get back on track here and to hand Indianapolis their first loss of the season.

Game Totals Pick
Over 49.5(-110)

This is the highest total (49.5) that these 2 teams have seen all season. The Colts have scored 29 or more points in all 3 victories, capped off by a 41-point spot in last Sunday’s rout of the Titans. Indianapolis cashed the Under of 46.5 points in its Week 1 decimation of Miami, 33-8. The Over has hit the last 2 weeks, starting with the wild last-second shocker over the Broncos, 29-28, on a 43 total. Last week’s total of 42.5 was nearly shattered by the Colts, who won 41-20 despite posting 365 yards of offense.

The Rams are also off back-to-back Overs since an Under back in Week 1. Los Angeles held off Houston in the season opener, 14-9, to stay Under the total of 43.5. The Rams lit up the Titans in the 2nd half of their 33-19 victory to eclipse the Over 41. In last Sunday’s 33-26 meltdown loss at Philadelphia, the Over of 45.5 cashed thanks to the Eagles scoring 26 2nd-half points.

Both the Rams and Colts rank in the top 6 in the NFL in yards per game, but each has faced a pair of 0-3 teams so far. In 3 games, the Rams have scored 2, 3 and 2 touchdowns, while relying on kicker Joshua Karty for 4 field goals last week against the Eagles.  The Colts reversed things after getting held to 5 FGs and 2 TDs against the Broncos as Indianapolis scored 5 TDs and kicked 2 FGs in last week’s thumping of Tennessee. Indianapolis is riding a 5-0 Over streak in its last 5 road games, while giving up 24 or more points 4 times in this stretch. Neither team has faced an explosive offense so far (the Eagles are averaging 268.3 yards per game). This total tells us that points will likely be scored here in this intriguing interconference battle at SoFi Stadium.

Colts vs Rams pick: Over 49.5 (-110) available at time of publishing. Playable to 50.5.
