The Indianapolis Colts (4-5) are set to host the Buffalo Bills (7-2) this Sunday, at Lucas Oil Stadium. The Bills, currently on a four-game winning streak, are favored by 4.5 points, with an over/under set at 47.5 points. Buffalo’s recent success includes a dramatic victory over the Miami Dolphins, secured by a franchise-record 61-yard field goal from Tyler Bass. Quarterback Josh Allen has been playing at a MVP level, leading an offense that ranks among the top in the league. Additionally, the Bills have bolstered their defense by acquiring pass rusher Josh Uche from the New England Patriots, aiming to strengthen their defensive pressure.
The Colts, on the other hand, are looking to rebound after a 21-13 loss to the Minnesota Vikings, marking their second consecutive defeat. In that game, the Colts managed only 227 yards of offense and failed to score an offensive touchdown. Quarterback Joe Flacco, who has taken over for Anthony Richardson, struggled, finishing with 179 yards and one interception. Despite these challenges, the Colts’ defense has shown resilience, with notable performances including a strip-sack touchdown by Grover Stewart. Facing a high-powered Bills offense, Indianapolis will need to address their offensive shortcomings and capitalize on defensive opportunities to stay competitive in this matchup.
