Colts WR Hilton expected to play

This week, BOVADA believes the Colts are going to get right, favoring them by seven points over the visiting Jets. But, of course, as long as Bill Belichick is still coaching the Pats, you can’t really bet against this defense no matter who is playing the corners.

Chris Ivory should have a strong game tonight in Indy (Getty). Kuechly just signed a contract extension and he has established himself as one of the best defensive players in the league, so missing him will be a tough loss for the Panthers. You can check out an interview with him and Colts play-by-play announcer Bob Lamey here.

Still, the Colts have a lot of holes (hey, the seats are hot for a reason), and Luck, at least at this point, isn’t elite – he’s just very good. The over/under for the game is set at 46.5 points. The Jets are 4-0 ATS over their last four games, per the OddsShark NFL Database. Both areas were concerns heading into the season and must improve this week for the Colts. Luck threw for 243 yards and two touchdowns against two interceptions.

How about shutting down the Colts’ high powered passing attack? According to a report from Kimberly Jones, Cromartie will play tonight after dealing with a nagging knee injury throughout the past week.

The Colts were never in the game as Buffalo jumped out to a 17-0 lead by halftime. If the keys to beating the Colts hold in this game, the Jets will likely need a big effort from Ryan Fitzpatrick. Lotulelei is officially listed as questionable for the game on Sunday against the Houston Texans at home.

“We just want to get out there and play a game of football and get that going”, he said. Besides, it’d just be reckless to rush a 31-year-old cornerback back into the lineup when the average recovery time is two to three weeks for a sprained knee. It will be interesting to see how Williams performs if Cromartie does sit against the Colts. It could be perceived as either a good or bad thing that the Colts were beaten 27-14 by the Buffalo Bills last week. The Colts are 10-2-1 in their last 13 games at home against the spread and was 7-1 straight up in Indianapolis last season, per OddsShark.

The 34-year-old Johnson has worked out of the slot more than he ever did in Houston, and new Jets coach Todd Bowles is willing to deploy Revis in multiple ways instead of just shadowing each opponent’s best receiver.
