Talk about teams at opposite end of the spectrum. The Indianapolis Colts are looking for their fourth win of the season, while the Las Vegas Raiders are trying to avoid a fourth loss. The Raiders posted a Week 1 victory against the New England Patriots, but since then they've dropped games to the Los Angeles ChargersWashington Commanders and then last week had a last-second field goal blocked preventing a 25-24 deficit to the Chicago Bears from becoming a 27-25 victory.

Last week, the Colts ended their three-game win streak they had to start the season. They fell 27-20 to the Los Angeles Rams, losing in the final two minutes, and now sit at 3-1. But Indianapolis has shown it can be an offensive force either through the air or on the ground. Plus the Colts' defensive unit is no slouch either.

The Colts are having the better season by far and are looking like a more complete team. I expect them to continue this trend and hand the Raiders their fourth loss of the year. Pick: Colts -7, Under 47.5
