Pick: Patriots 36, Colts 17
Short turnaround too much for banged-up Colts.
Andy Hart, Patriots.com:
Pick: Patriots 31, Colts 20
The short week and injuries are too much for visiting Colts. New England takes care of business and takes another step in the right direction.
Erik Scalavino, Patriots.com:
Pick: Patriots 30, Colts 21
Thursday night meetings tend to favor the home team simply because they enjoy the benefit of not having to travel on a short turnaround week. The Colts could very easily be undefeated the way they've played this season, but New England's offense is finding its groove. Even if TE Rob Gronkowski doesn't suit up, the O will produce and the D will do its job against Andrew Luck and a Colts offense that will miss T.Y. Hilton.
