Is Nathaniel Hackett on the hot seat with Broncos slow start? | THE HERD
Nathaniel Hackett continues to struggle this season as the Denver Broncos are 2-2.
Pick via Gambling Analyst Sam Panayotovich:
There’s not much to love about this game, but I think the lack of respect for the Indianapolis offense has gone too far. Jonathan Taylor hasn’t cracked 75 yards in his last three games, and conventional wisdom says he’s due for a breakout game. Denver’s run defense is middle-of-the-pack to begin with, and I foresee fatigue being an issue after that unit was on the field for 70 plays on Sunday. If the Colts can shake their red zone woes, 20 points is very attainable.
PICK: Colts team total Over 19.5 points (-118)
