Colts vs. Giants Betting Prediction
The Indianapolis Colts have already been eliminated from the postseason race and are currently in line for the fifth overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. The Colts will likely target a quarterback in the first round, however, they will need to keep losing as the top of the draft picture is very crowded.
The New York Giants, on the other hand, control their postseason destiny. A victory in either of their next two games will clinch a postseason spot. With New York set to face the 13-2 Philadelphia Eagles in Week 18, they would surely like to win in Week 17.
Look for the Giants to take advantage of a Colts team that has not won a game since mid-November. Expect the Giants to win by at least six points as they clinch their first postseason berth since 2016.
Pick: New York Giants -5.5 (-110)
