Despite a trip on the road at MetLife Stadium, the Indianapolis Colts are 7.5-point favorites (on FanDuel) over the New York Giants. It's been a nightmare season for the Giants, who imploded on offense last week and have very little incentive to win heading into Week 17.
Indianapolis is a -450 favorite on the moneyline, and the UNDER 40.5 points is juiced in this contest at -115. Find the Colts vs Giants odds and my best bets below for Week 17.

Colts vs Giants Week 17 Picks
OVER 40.5 Points
This total is playable, especially with the juice on the OVER 40.5 points as of Monday. While the Colts will carry the scoring load in this game, the Giants may also surprise some folks, as Indy's defense has been prone to big games from middle-of-the-pack teams lately.
The Colts have hit the OVER in three of the last five games (which also spans one push in Week 15 vs the Broncos) and easily cashed the OVER last week, during an ugly shootout vs the Titans. Anthony Richardson went full chaos ball in that contest, slinging it deep and running without concern for his own safety. While this strategy may cause Colts fans to hold their breath, it's great for betting the OVER in what I expect to be a very sloppy game.
The Giants offense is the biggest deterrent to this bet. This team has scored more than 20 points just once in the last 10 games. Drew Lock and the game must exploit Indy's shaky defense that has allowed 28.3 points per game over its last three contests.
Colts vs Giants Week 17 Props
Anthony Richardson Anytime TD
Richardson's rushing ability is about the only reliable betting option in this Colts offense. The sophomore quarterback has abandoned a consistent approach in favor of wacky broken plays or designed runs. It's getting the job done, too, as Richardson has rushed for a touchdown in four of the last five games.
The Giants also yield 0.33 QB rushing scores per game this season, the 27th-worst mark in football. There will be chances for Richardson, so let's hope the odds are good come Sunday.
Colts vs Giants Week 17 Betting Trends
- Anthony Richardson has gone UNDER his passing yards total in eight of 10 games this season.
- The UNDER is 7-3 in the Giants' last 10 games at home.
- The Giants have scored more than 20 points once in the last 10 games.
