Denver Broncos vs. Indianapolis Colts Prediction

1u - Nyheim Hines Over 3.5 Receptions (-139) (Bet $139 to win $100)

*Odds Available at Caesars*

This is a popular play and for good reason. Hines has hit this prop in 3/4 games and now with Taylor sidelined we should expect to see Hines on the field even more. In the first three games, we saw Hines snag 15 balls, and tonight's game script should favor him being involved in the passing game even more. Denver enters this game as -3.5 favorites so, in theory, the Colts should be passing throughout all four quarters.

Matt Ryan is the king of the check down and Hines should be the primary first look when Ryan is being swarmed. I'm hoping that Indianapolis finds little to no success in the run game so they will pass on the majority of downs and give Hines endless chances to get to this low number of 4 receptions. When Hines sees 40% of the snaps he has hit this prop in 17/22 games and although Denver is a tough opponent they did just allow 5 receptions to Josh Jacobs.

With Javonte Williams sidelined for Denver I am hoping that Denver passes the ball more which should lead to the clock stopping more and in theory having more offensive plays for the Colts. Hines has incredible upside tonight and although I don’t project the catches to be overly efficient I think four catches are incredibly in play and worth drinking the minor juice for. Let's hop on this before it moves to 4.5 at plus odds, let's roll!
