Denver is also without linebackers Jonathon Cooper and Aaron Patrick, and safety PJ Locke, who is in the concussion protocol. This all spells trouble for the Broncos’ defense.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Following these injuries, Denver signed veteran running back Latavius \u200b\u200bMurray from the New Orleans Saints. He played for the Saints in their 28-25 loss to the Vikings in London on Sunday after being lifted from the practice squad for the game. Murray rushed for 57 yards on 11 carries and scored a touchdown, although it wasn\u2019t enough to give the Saints a win.<\/p>\n
Adding Murray still may not give the Broncos a lot to look forward to offensively, especially since quarterback Russell Wilson is at less than 100% while dealing with a shoulder injury. Colts QB Matt Ryan, meanwhile, has only been marginally successful for the Colts this season.<\/p>\n
As a result, both teams could see their defenses have strong games on Thursday night.<\/p>\n
Which Horse has a Better Kick?<\/h2>\n The Broncos found support from oddsmakers in the game, getting -165 on DraftKings and -178 at Caesars. The Colts come in as underdogs at +140 and +150, respectively.<\/p>\n
The underdogs could take the game, although it won\u2019t be a pretty battle. Even the books expect more defensive action, listing the over\/under at just 42. That total might even be too high.<\/strong><\/p>\nThe over has hit nine consecutive times for the Colts, including in five road games. When these two have faced off previously, the under has hit 10 of 14 times. A low-scoring game with the Colts producing a better kick than the Broncos is likely.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
