Summary:
Indianapolis has dominated this match-up in recent memory winning six of the last seven head to head games with Kansas City. Colts quarterback Andrew Luck is making a strong case for MVP after sitting out most of last season with injury. The Colts offense is one of the dominant units in the league but keep in mind they are the third most penalized team in the league. Kansas City has forced a bunch of turnovers on defense and have limited mistakes on offense. They should be able to put up yardage on a porous Colts defense. I’m going against “The Crowd” and picking Indianapolis to win this one at home.
