The Broncos won 31-13 at home against the Colts last year, and their defense could be even better this year. I also expect them to clean up the turnovers on offense and take advantage of a bad rushing defense that the Colts have.

Courtland Sutton already has a touchdown to his name following last week’s six-catch, 61-yard performance against Tennessee, and the Broncos’ WR1 should thrive against a Colts secondary that could be without its top two corners. Both Charvarius Ward (concussion) and Jaylen Jones (hamstring) are currently listed as questionable for Sunday’s matchup at Lucas Oil Stadium.

Tyler Warren had a huge NFL debut, leading the Colts with nine targets and finishing with a 7/76/0 line. He’s currently +235 to score this weekend—shorter than Michael Pittman (+255) and just behind Jonathan Taylor (-135) and Daniel Jones (+175). Normally, I’d lean Pittman at this number, but he’ll likely see plenty of Pat Surtain in coverage. Instead, I’m backing the big rookie tight end, who already looks to have chemistry with Daniel Jones and saw two of the team’s three red-zone targets in Week 1. In what could be a low-scoring game, I wouldn’t play this much lower than +220.

Given he’s getting more carries and targets than the rest of the running back room combined, and they’re playing a Colts team, who might just have faced the Dolphins at the right time, we have to back Dobbins to score the opening touchdown of this game.

At the present time, the 8th-most pass-centric team in the NFL (62.4% in a neutral context) according to our trusted projection set is the Denver Broncos.. Our trusted projections expect the Broncos offense to be the 6th-fastest paced team in the NFL (adjusted for context) at the moment, averaging 27.12 seconds per play.. This game will be played in a dome—which means no wind, higher pass volume, higher touchdown potential, and increased passing efficiency.. With a fantastic 5.0 adjusted receptions per game (93rd percentile) since the start of last season, Evan Engram stands among the leading tight ends in the pass game in the league.. Last year, the deficient Colts pass defense has allowed a monstrous 83.7% Adjusted Completion Rate versus opposing TEs: the 2nd-highest rate in the NFL.
