Is it any wonder why Indy is top ten or better across the board defensively.
The real question is where are the Patriots going to get their points?
Mac Jones is awful, look it up if you haven't seen a Pats game all year.
Jones and the Pats needed a phantom PI called to erase a pick six last week, or he loses to the Jets.
The week before he got yanked and booed off the field before halftime against the Bears.
Week before that, he threw three picks against the Ravens in a blowout loss.
Jones was terrible against Trubinsky and the Steelers in a ugly 17-14 win.
Terrible again in the Dolphin loss before that one.
Davis Mills is having a better season, Jones is next to dead last in pretty much every QB metric, worst QB rating the past five weeks in the NFL, he's averaging under 200 yards passing a game, for a dink and dunk passer he's thrown three TD passes while getting picked seven times.
That's a horrendous TD to INT ratio, worst than Zack Wilson, Davis Mills, everybody, dead last. and it's not even close.
And Sunday (today) he's throwing to Jakobi Meyers (his primary WR1) NEP WR2 today is Tyquan Thorton, and the ancillary WR today is Kendrick Bourne.
Having said all that about Mac Jones, do you trust him in this spot, against an top ten, underrated defense.
I trust Ehlinger in this game much more than I trust Mac Jones.
If the Colts put up 17 points, they should win outright, where's Jones with that group of receivers going to find 20 points? Shit, based off of recent performances Jones more than likely will gift the Colts at least 10 points.
Ask yourself this, what's the better bet here, Jones and the Pats offense laying 5.5 points to the Colts defense, or vice versa.
I've already put my money where my mouth is, Colts +5.5, best bet of the day.
Patriots are just not good anymore, they're actually horseshit without a QB in a QB league.
