The Oakland Raiders take on the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday, September 29, 2019 at the Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.
The Oakland Raiders look to snap a two-game losing skid on Sunday but they will be in a tough spot to do so. Oakland is 1-8 SU in their last nine road games and playing in Indianapolis isn’t going to help. Derek Carr has completed 73.5% of his passes and has thrown for a total of 699 yards with four touchdowns and three interceptions. Carr has thrown not more than one touchdown in six out of his last nine games played. Tyrell Williams Darren Waller have combined for 447 receiving yards and three touchdowns while Josh Jacobs has rushed for 228 yards with two scores. The Raiders have allowed an average of 26 points per game and 398.7 yards per outing. Karl Joseph leads Oakland with 18 tackles while Benson Mayowa has 3.5 sacks.
The Indianapolis Colts aim to win their third straight game when they host the Raiders on September 29th. The Colts have won seven home games in a row and are the NFL betting favorites to win this game. Jacoby Brissett has passed for 646 yards while completing 71.7% of his passes with seven scores and only one interception. Jack Doyle and T.Y. Hilton have caught a total of four passes for 282 total receiving yards while Eric Ebron has seven catches on the year. Marlon Mack has rushed for 299 yards and has scored two touchdowns. Indianapolis is allowing a total of 394.7 yards and 20.3 points per game this season. Anthony Walkers’ 22 tackles leads the Colts while Denico Autry has 2.5 sacks and Malik Hooker one interception.
Oakland is 5-15 SU in their last 20 games played. The Raiders are 1-11 SU in their last 12 games played on the road. Indianapolis is 12-3 SU in their last 15 games played. The Colts are 7-0 SU in their last seven games played at home. Head to head, the Colts are 5-1 SU in their last six games against the Raiders. But Oakland is 5-2 SU in their last seven road games against Indianapolis.
The Colts are banged up right now but that doesn’t mean I’m going to pick the Raiders. After an emotional season opener win against the Broncos, they have looked awful. Sure, they played the Chiefs and Vikings in those games but they aren’t playing well right now and don’t have much depth. The Colts have found ways to win and I think they will again this time around. I’m picking Indianapolis to beat Oakland. Prediction: Oakland Raiders
Oakland is 5-10 ATS in their last 15 games played. The Raiders are 2-9 ATS in their last 11 week 4 games. Indianapolis is 6-2-1 ATS in their last nine games played.

The Raiders have failed to cover 11 out of their last 14 games as underdogs of three or more points. On the other hand, the Colts are 4-4-1 ATS in their last nine game as three or more points favorites at home. The Colts have played three tight games this season but these Raiders have lost their last two games by an average of 19 points per game. I think the Colts win by at least 10 points here. Prediction: Colts -7.5
The total has gone under in four out of the last five games played by the Raiders. Oakland has seen the total go under in five out of their last six games against the AFC Conference. The total has gone over in five out of the Raiders’ last six games against the AFC South Division. The total has gone under in eight out of the last 12 games played by the Colts. The under is 7-2 in Indianapolis’ last nine games against the AFC Conference but the over is 9-2 in their last 11 week 4 games. Head to head, the over is 5-4 in their last nine meetings.

These teams have combined to score over 51 points per game in their last 9 meetings and over 55 points per game in their last three games played. Oakland has gone over 44.5 just once in three games and Indianapolis twice in their first three games. The Raiders have scored of 12 points per game in their last two games played. The under is 15-7 in the Colts’ last 22 games played at home. I think the Raiders’ woes will not help the total. Prediction: Under 44.5
