Strategies for Wagering on the Colts: Super Bowl probabilities, overall victories, prop bets, and top long-term bets for Indianapolis in 2025
The Indianapolis Colts are gearing up for an exciting 2025 season, with a new quarterback leading the charge. Daniel Jones, who was cut by the Giants last year, has been signed by the Colts to revive his career.
Jones, who led the Giants to the postseason in 2022 with a low interception rate of 1.1%, will be the starting quarterback for the Colts. He will be competing against 2023 first-round pick Anthony Richardson, who has been plagued by injuries and inconsistency. Richardson, who had the worst completion percentage (47.7%) in a season since Tim Tebow in 2011, has been named the backup for the regular season opener.
The Colts have a tough road ahead, with games against the Chiefs, Chargers, Steelers, Rams, and Seahawks scheduled for the 2025 season. However, the team has made several offseason moves to improve their chances, including the addition of Jones, running back Trey Sermon, and wide receiver Juwann Winfree.
The Colts' defense ranked 24th in scoring in the 2024 season, marking the third straight season they have been in the bottom 10. However, they did rank ninth in takeaways in the same season. The team's tight ends, who collectively received 75 targets in the 2024 season, are expected to have a lower target count in 2025.
FanDuel offers an Over 7.5 wins bet for the Colts in 2025 with a +100 odds. DraftKings offers a Tyler Warren Under 500.5 receiving yards bet with -110 odds.
The Colts also have some promising skill players, including Josh Downs, Michael Pittman Jr., and Richardson. The team's draft picks in 2025, which include Riley Leonard, DJ Giddens, Ajou Ajou, Jalen Travis, Tim Smith, JT Tuimoloau, and Hunter Wohler, will also be looking to make an impact.
With a tough schedule and a new quarterback, the Colts are considered to have a better shot than +350 odds imply in winning the AFC South division in 2025. Only seven of the 37 tight ends drafted in the first round since 2000 reached 500 yards as rookies, so the team will be hoping for a strong performance from their skill players. The 2025 season promises to be an exciting one for the Indianapolis Colts.
