Underdogs covered the number in all three NFL games on the Sunday week 16 slate, and in the case of the Rams and Packers they won outright. That trend doesn’t seem likely to continue as the week wraps up in Monday’s Chargers vs Colts matchup, but that’s what the oddsmakers also want us to think. Los Angeles (8-6) has much more to play for currently in the #6 spot in the wild card while the Colts (4-9) have lost seven of their last eight yet the spread has LAC as just a -4 point favorite. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Colts are unpredictable on Monday if anything for the simple fact they are starting their third QB of the season with Nick Foles<\/strong> getting the latest crack after the most recent Matt Ryan<\/strong> benching. Ryan has completed less than 60% of his passes the last two games, and has 14 TDs to 13 INTs on the season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Colts interim coach Jeff Saturday<\/strong> almost had to bench Ryan, as somebody has to be the scapegoat after Indianapolis blew a 33-0 halftime lead last Saturday in a 39-36 defeat to the Vikings. That was the biggest blown lead<\/a> in NFL history, which doesn’t do a ton for morale heading into Monday night in front of an embarrassed Lucas Oil Stadium fan base. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
