- Italicized for win- Bolded for spread

Denver @ Indianapolis (+2.5) - These are two below average teams.  While the Colts are coming off an overtime game in the snow, they are still 5-1 against the spread at home.  The Broncos' defense looked sharp against the Jets but it should be taken with a grain of salt considering Bryce Petty missed some easy passes in place of the injured McCown. The Broncos will be without four starters including Domata Peko, Derek Wolfe, Ron Leary, and Aquib Talib.  Frank Gore looks to add to his 760 yard total this season.  His body may feel a bit winded after carrying the ball 36 times in the Colts loss to the Bills.  But even at 34, Gore will attempt to amass over 1,000 yards rushing for the 10th season in his career although he will have his work cut out for him against a Broncos team that only gave up 45 yards rushing last week.
