49ers vs. Colts Predictions for Monday Night Football, NFL Week 16
After nearly leading the Colts to the upset of the year over the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday, the team wasted no time announcing that Philip Rivers would once again be the starter for this matchup. The 44-year-old threw for 120 yards in the loss, but at least gets to play at home for Monday Night Football.
Although a factor for our 49ers vs. Colts predictions, we still see San Francisco as clear favorites. They’ve got a big storyline themselves, as they placed Brandon Aiyuk on the IR/left team list since they apparently haven’t seen them in a month or more. Clearly, his absence hasn’t been a big deal.
The 49ers still have a chance to earn the #1 seed in the NFC with some help, and Indy is still trying to keep their playoff hopes alive. A meaningful game for both teams means that you won’t want to miss our premium NFL best bets for Monday Night Football alongside our 49ers vs. Colts predictions to hit multiple NFL expert picks.

49ers vs. Colts Best Bet: San Francisco -6Â Points (-115 at Novig)
We didn’t have to look far for a market that we found valuable since it’s a simple, standard market. We’ve seen the 49ers vs. Colts odds listing San Francisco as favorites from 5.5 and up to 6.5, and we’d be comfortable with anything less than a touchdown. Although they’re on the road, we’re confident that they can get the job done.
There is no weather to factor into our 49ers vs. Colts predictions like the Miami Dolphins playing in the cold in the most recent MNF game, since they’ll be indoors. More importantly, we don’t see Philip Rivers taking advantage of the 49ers where they can be exploited. San Francisco has the 25th-ranked defensive EPA per pass, but has been great against the run.
In other words, Indy simply doesn’t excel where San Francisco can be beaten. No Nick Bosa rushing the passer is their issue, but again, we don’t trust Indy’s passing attack enough. We may see an Alec Pierce explosive play or two, but not enough to have them pull off the upset. You could also consider a first-half spread as well.
In any case, we’re keeping things as basic as it gets by making the best bet from our 49ers vs. Colts predictions on San Francisco -6 points (-115 at Novig).
