The opening point spread had the Colts favored by 3 points. The odds held strong there most of the week but made a slight drop to 2.5 points to close. The dip to 2.5 points is key for bettors as it allows you to cover with a field goal from the Colts. With the new overtime rules in place for the playoffs, there will be an urgency to win the game in regulation, which makes the 2.5-point spread more enticing.
The over/under opened at 44.5 points and that hasn’t changed much. Both teams come in with solid offenses, as the Jets have quietly posted a 22.9 points per game average. If you combine the season average of both offenses, it totals to 50.1 points per contest offensively. The Jets defense has not been what it was in the past and the Colts still have plenty of holes.
