The 2024 schedule has been released, and with that, Draft Kings Sportsbook has early betting odds for all 17 of the Indianapolis Colts games this season.
On paper, Sharp Football has the Colts with the seventh-easiest strength of schedule this season, based on the projected win totals of their opponents. However, even with that being the case, it’s a mixed bag when it comes to whether or not the Colts are currently favored each week.
The recipe for a successful season for the Colts is certainly there. For one, they’re entering Year 2 under Shane Steichen, with that continuity often resulting in a big jump. The Colts will also have Anthony Richardson back and bolstered the playmaking around him by adding Adonai Mitchell. Indianapolis should also have one of the better offensive and defensive fronts in football this season.
The pieces of the puzzle appear to be there, but it’s going to come down to execution on Sundays. Here is a look at which games the Colts are favored in and which ones they are going to be the underdogs, according to Draft Kings.
