Denver Broncos at Indianapolis Colts

Coming off a stellar divisional victory against the Houston Texans in Week 7, the Indianapolis Colts will now play host to the Denver Broncos on Sunday. The Broncos have not been as good as advertised this season, as Joe Flacco looks lost most of the time, and the team is struggling on both sides of the ball.

For Indianapolis, they have made the transition from Andrew Luck to Jacoby Brissett easily, as Brissett has a strong understanding of the offense. Indy also has one of the better offensive lines in the game, All-Pro talent on the defensive side of the ball, and are just a better team that the Broncos right now.

The Broncos got rid of Emmanuel Sanders on Tuesday, trading him to the San Francisco 49ers, so that is one less weapon the Colts have to worry about. This is a Colts team that is trending in the right direction right now, and playing Denver at home should lead to a comfortable win for them in front of the home crowd.

Prediction: Colts 24, Broncos 17
