Heading into this NFL season, the Las Vegas Raiders with rookie RB Ashton Jeanty, and the Indianapolis Colts with a new QB in Daniel Jones, had similar expectations. They weren’t the highest, either, but we’ve seen how preseason expectations can pan out. It presents a very interesting matchup, and we’ve got our best Raiders vs. Colts predictions for Sunday.

BetMGM Sportsbook got its start in Las Vegas (and is legal in Indianapolis), so it’s only fitting to pair the best bet from our Raiders vs. Colts picks with their 15x promo code bonus!

Raiders vs. Colts Predictions for NFL Week 5, Sunday 10/5

The start for Ashton Jeanty was much slower than expected (and hoped for by fantasy managers), while Daniel Jones couldn’t have started any hotter. Well, the former went off to the tune of 21 carries for 138 yards, a touchdown, AND two receiving touchdowns!

Meanwhile, the latter threw for 262 yards but had two interceptions in the process. What they had in common was that they both lost one-score games this past Sunday in matchups that had their fair share of clowniness. The Raiders had their game-winning field goal blocked while the Colts had the classic drop-the-ball-before-the-goal-line TD ruined.

Therefore, a factor for any Raiders vs. Colts predictions this week has to be which team has the mental toughness to bounce back.

 

 

 

Raiders vs. Colts Best Bet: Jonathan Taylor 70+ Rushing Yards & Anytime TD (-120 at BetMGM)

Well, with our favorite way to play this AFC showdown, we don’t need to worry about either team bouncing back. All we’re worried about is the favorite to win Offensive Player of the Year having another massive game.

It’s a rare occurrence when Jonathan Taylor fails to find the endzone, and in the two weeks prior to this past Sunday, he ran for 102+ yards in back-to-back games. He also would have had a 50+ yard touchdown against the Los Angeles Rams if not for a WR holding call - the same one that dropped the ball before crossing the goal line (Adonai Mitchell).

Regardless, Taylor had THREE rushing touchdowns two weeks ago, so multiple scores is far from out of the question. He’s also found the painted grass through the air this season and has had 3+ receptions in three of four games this year.

While he and the Colts don’t face the Raiders regularly, he’s had at least a touchdown in all four career games against them, not to mention rushing yard totals of 96, 147, 108 and 150! That’s consistency that simply can’t be ignored, hence why he’s the focus of our Raiders vs. Colts predictions.

Although we need two things to be true, keep in mind that doing so means that the rushing yardage is far lower than his standalone line. With that said, our Raiders vs. Colts picks are Jonathan Taylor 60+ rushing yards + anytime TD (-120 at BetMGM).

Raiders vs. Colts Injury Report & Latest News

One of the reasons for Indy’s strong start to the season has been remaining healthy. That means that Raiders vs. Colts injury news for them is few and far between, but Alec Pierce, Matt Goncalves, and Kenny Moore did miss Week 4.

In Las Vegas, they too are quite healthy, but we still want to monitor Brock Bowers since getting his knee banged up back in Week 1. You can monitor more than that, and more than Raiders vs. Colts injury news, with the Fantasy Alarm NFL injury report.
