Indianapolis has covered the spread five games in a row as a favorite and Las Vegas is 0-4-1 ATS as an underdog of 3.5-10.0 points. The Colts apparently suffered a major letdown after defeating Pittsburgh the week before as they were defeated 29-10 by Atlanta on Sunday. The Colts had trouble running the ball, but they should have better luck this week as the Raiders are No. 22 in run defense allowing 122.2 yards per game. The Falcons took advantage of the Colts' struggling run game and zeroed in on Gardner Minshew, who threw for 201 yards with an interception. Las Vegas will play on a short week and is in letdown mode following a huge win at Kansas City on Monday. The Raiders stayed UNDER for the sixth time in eight games and the Colts went UNDER by 4.5 points against the Falcons. The Raiders are 11-4 UNDER on the season and 7-2 UNDER their past nine December games. Las Vegas had only 205 net total yards and Aidan O'Connell threw for just 62 yards against the Chiefs and its two TDs were on a fumble return and an interception return. Indianapolis is 16-6-1 ATS after scoring fewer than 15 points its previous game. Take the Colts and the UNDER.
