The New England Patriots will look to keep their seven-game winning streak alive against the Indianapolis Colts tonight. The Colts, who need a win to stay in playoff contention, are hoping Jonathan Taylor can continue his MVP-like season and carry them to a win.

Away from who wins the game, let's take a look at three prop bets to consider. All odds listed are via WynnBET.

Best Prop Bets For Patriots vs. Colts

  • Rhamondre Stevenson OVER 72.5 Rushing Yards (-115)/ Anytime TD Scorer (+105)
  • T.Y. Hilton OVER 28.5 Receiving Yards
  • Mac Jones UNDER 21.5 Completions (-115)

Rhamondre Stevenson OVER 72.5 Rushing Yards (-115)/ Anytime TD Scorer (+105)

Stevenson has been a big part of the Patriots’s run game up to this point in the season. Damien Harris is going to be out and that leaves the full workload onto Stevenson’s shoulders. When he’s gotten at least 20 carries this season, he’s cleared this line. Expect a big workload from him, thus setting the way for the clear. 

Stevenson will also be the goal line back. At plus odds, there is a lot of value for the RB1 to score a touchdown.

T.Y. Hilton OVER 28.5 Receiving Yards

Hilton has started the last three games and is slowly becoming a reliable piece for the Colts again. He’s only averaging three targets per game and 25.3 yards, but I really like the idea of Hilton being involved today. We all know Bellichick is going to take out the No.1 receiver, which in this case is Michael Pittman Jr. 

Hilton still creates problems down the field and all he would need is one more catch than what he’s averaging to get over this. I’ll take the chance on this one. 

Mac Jones UNDER 21.5 Completions (-115)

The last time we saw Jones on the field, he attempted three passes. That won’t be the case tonight, but don’t expect to see Jones sling the ball all around the field. He’s missed this line in four of the last six games and is always hovering around this line. For Jones to pass this, either Rhamondre Stevenson would have to be ineffective or this game will be a shootout. I don’t see either happening, so I’m ready to sit back and watch average Mac Jones do his thing.
