<p>The 2021 NFL season continues with a couple of Week 15 games on Saturday’s card, including the marquee AFC matchup at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, so here’s the best Patriots vs. Colts betting pick.</p>



<p>New England and Indy lock horns for the first time since 2018. The Patriots search for their ninth consecutive victory over the Colts, opening as small 2.5-point underdogs on <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/bookmaker/">Bookmaker Sportsbook</a>, while the totals sit at 45.5 points.</p>



<h2>The Pats have been unstoppable lately     </h2>



<p>The New England Patriots (9-4; 9-4 ATS) are coming off a bye, looking to extend their winning streak to eight games. They outlasted the Buffalo Bills 14-10 as 3-point road underdogs in Week 13 and took the lead in the American Football Conference.</p>



<p>The Pats outgained the Bills 241-230 in blustery weather conditions at Highmark Stadium. Mac Jones completed two of his three passing attempts for 19 yards, while running backs Damien Harris and Rhamondre Stevenson combined for 189 yards and a TD on 34 carries.</p>



<p>New England continues to torture its rivals on the defensive end. The Patriots surrender only 15.4 points per contest (1<sup>st</sup> in the NFL) on 310.0 total yards (3<sup>rd</sup>). Over their previous five showings at any location, the Pats have yielded just 36 points in total.</p>



<h2>The Colts dismantled Houston in Week 13         </h2>



<p>The Indianapolis Colts (7-6; 8-5 ATS) are coming off a bye, too, hoping to stay on the winning path and continue with their playoff push. Back in Week 13, the Colts trounced the Houston Texans 31-0 as 10-point road favorites to bounce back from a tough 38-31 home loss to Tampa Bay in Week 12.</p>



<p>The Colts dominated the Texans from start to finish, holding the ball in possession for 41:35. Jonathan Taylor had another terrific game and finished with 32 carries for 143 yards and a couple of touchdowns, while Carson Wentz completed 16 of his 22 pass attempts for 158 yards and a TD.</p>



<p>Taylor is enjoying a wonderful season. The second-year RB has already posted 241 totes for 1,348 yards and 16 touchdowns. Interestingly, Taylor has scored a TD in ten straight outings. The Colts boast the third-highest scoring offense in the NFL, averaging 28.5 points per game.</p>



<p><strong>Trends:</strong></p>



<p><strong>New England:</strong></p>



<ul><li>7-0 ATS in the last seven games overall</li><li>16-3-1 ATS in the last 20 road games against Indianapolis&nbsp;</li></ul>



<p><strong>Indianapolis:</strong></p>



<ul><li>3-7 ATS in the last ten games at home</li><li>1-5 ATS in the last six games against New England&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</li></ul>



<h2 id="h-new-england-patriots-vs-indianapolis-colts-pick">New England Patriots vs. Indianapolis Colts Pick</h2>



<p>We will see a great battle between a couple of playoff contenders. I’m expecting a back-and-forth clash that could easily go either way down the stretch, so give me the underdogs and points. The Colts are certainly capable of putting an end to the Patriots’ winning streak, but I don’t think this battle will be decided by a comfortable margin.</p>



<p>New England is 7-0 SU and ATS in its last seven outings. The Pats’ defense has been terrific as of late, though the Colts can lean on their defense, too. The key factor for Indy will be Carson Wentz, who has to avoid turnovers against the Pats’ aggressive pass rush and secondary.</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Take New England +3.0 at -138&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p><strong>The Total:</strong></p>



<p>Both New England and Indianapolis will run the pigskin as much as possible, trying to control the clock and keep the opposite defensive unit on the field. Hereof, I don’t expect to see a high-scoring affair, though you never know with these two teams. Their defenses can score as well, while the Colts have allowed 27 touchdowns on 38 red-zone attempts.</p>



<p>On the other side, the Pats have yielded only 16 touchdowns on 35 red-zone attempts. Their defense is the main reason why I’m going with the under. Four of New England’s last five games played in December went under the total.</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Go under 45.5 points at -110</strong></p>

Carolina is 35-28 straight up (SU) and has lost 3.3 units for moneyline bettors thus far. Through 63 regular season outings, 32 of its games have gone under the total, while 30 have gone over and none have pushed. This 2019-20 Hurricanes team is 16-14 SU on the road.

Averaging 24.7 saves per game with a .904 save percentage, Petr Mrazek (21-18-2) has been the primary option in goal for Carolina this year. If head coach Rod Brind Amour decides to rest him, however, the team may turn to James Reimer (15-10-2 record, .914 save percentage, 2.66 goals against average).

<p><strong>Odds At BAS: Hill -295</strong></p>



<p>Two light heavyweights will be the main event here with Thiago Santos taking on Jamahal Hill. Santos came just short of taking the title against Jon Jones, losing by split decision. He’s been having trouble bouncing back from it. He enters this bout having lost four of his last five fights. This is looking like it’s going to be a must win matchup for him if he wants another shot at that title.</p>



<p>Meanwhile, Hill just picked up back-to-back wins in the first round and is now up to 10-1 across his career. Those recent victories came against Johnny Walker and Jimmy Crute – both first-round stoppages – and if he can get another win here, we might be seeing him become the best ascending talent in the division.</p>



<p>This just feels like it’s two fighters heading in opposite directions. Go with Hill.</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Hill</strong></p>



<p><strong>Mohammed Usman vs. Zac Pauga</strong></p>



<p><strong>Odds At BAS: Pauga -240</strong></p>



<p>The heavyweight finale will be kicking off with Mohammed Usman taking on Zac Pauga. Each of these Ultimate Fighter competitors were the top two choices by Julianna Pena and will be looking to end their run-on top. Usman is the younger brother of champ Kamaru Usman and recently just got two strong decision wins coming into this matchup. He’s 8-2 across his career and is hoping to follow in his brother’s footsteps.</p>



<p>On the other hand, Pauga is a former professional football player that is 6-0 in his fighting career. He recently dominated a fight against Jordan Heiderman and also has a unanimous victory against Markus Perez under his belt.</p>



<p>Neither of these fighters look like they have a clear physical advantage, but skill and strategy will be a large component for which of them will win this fight.</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Fight Will Go the Distance</strong></p>



<p><strong>Vicente Luque vs. Geoff Neal</strong></p>



<p><strong>Odds At BAS: Luque -180</strong></p>



<p>Two ranked welterweights will be aiming to improve their numbers when they take to the Octagon in this one. Vicente Luque just took a tough loss to Belal Muhammad back in April but he’s never lost two straight fights in his career. Plus, all of the fights that he’s lost have been followed up by stoppage victories. Luque doesn't want to see this consistency slip away now.</p>



<p>Geoff Neal, on the other hand, just broke out of a two-fight losing streak by taking down Santiago Ponzinibbio. The challenge is that bout was a split decision win, so he was a hair away from losing his third in a row.</p>



<p>It feels like Luque is the fighter on the rise here, so lay the juice.</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Luque</strong></p>

Major League Baseball (MLB) might not be the most popular sport in the world to wager on, but it still presents a really good betting option. MLB betting comes in many different forms, and this is a season that presents plenty of betting opportunities as well.

Major League Baseball was founded all the way back in 1876, but the league has obviously gone through some major changes since that time. Most of the major rules are still in place, but the way that the game is played is now much different.

There are currently 30 teams in MLB, and every team plays 162 games during the regular season. MLB games typically start at the end of March, or early April, and the World Series wraps up during the first week of November.

MLB teams are split up into leagues and divisions, but there is now more crossover games than ever before. The American League and National League now operate under the same basic rules, and that keeps things similar regardless of what league you are looking at.

Knowing the best MLB betting sites &amp; sportsbooks is also important if you plan to bet on MLB, and this article will explore that as well. By the time you are done reading this article, you should be ready to bet on baseball.
