Colts and Patriots 6-point teaser is the football betting play of the week at -130 odds
The writer recommends a six-point teaser combining the Indianapolis Colts and New England Patriots, priced at -130. The bet adjusts the Colts from -7 to -1 against the Tennessee Titans and the Patriots from -7.5 to -1.5 against the New York Jets, reducing the required winning margins.
The case for the Colts rests on winless Tennessee’s struggles to sustain drives and its recent 26-3 loss to Houston, though Indianapolis is 2-3 and has had uneven performances. The Patriots are also 2-3, but have won both home games by a combined 65-20; Drake Maye has thrown seven of his eight touchdowns over the past two weeks. The writer says the Jets are less trustworthy on the road.
- The recommended teaser pairs the Colts and Patriots at -130.
- The Colts are adjusted to -1 against the 0-5 Titans.
- The Patriots are adjusted to -1.5 against the Jets.

A teaser is a type of football bet that changes the points attached to two or more teams, making each team’s target easier to reach in return for less favourable odds. Here, the points are adjusted so the Colts can win by any margin or avoid losing by more than one, while the Patriots can win by any margin or avoid losing by more than one and a half.
The Colts play in Indianapolis and face the Tennessee Titans; the Patriots play in New England and face the New York Jets. The teams are in the same league but different divisions, and each is seeking to improve on a 2-3 start.
