The Indianapolis Colts are 3-6 straight up and 2-7 against the spread in their last nine games against the New York Jets. The Colts can end a three-game losing streak against the Jets with a win this Monday night at MetLife Stadium.

Indianapolis is a 2-point road favorite in East Rutherford at sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com. In their last 14 appearances on Monday Night Football, the Colts are 10-4 ATS.

The Colts appeared to be building some momentum with back-to-back wins and covers over Green Bay and Tennessee before Andrew Luck left the Tennessee game with concussion-like symptoms. With Luck forced to miss the team’s Thanksgiving Day game against Pittsburgh, the Colts offense sputtered in a 28-7 loss. Luck is expected to return for Monday night’s game against the Jets, who rank 22nd in the league, allowing 262.8 passing yards per game.

Since losing their first three road games of the season, the Colts have won their last two. Coming off two straight road wins, Indianapolis is 0-9 SU and 1-8 ATS in its previous nine attempts at winning a third straight road game, per the OddsShark NFL Database.

Betting Line / Total: Indianapolis -2 / 48.5 Points

Trend: The Colts are 2-7 ATS in their last nine games against the Jets.

Trend: The total has gone OVER in five of the Colts’ last seven games against the Jets.

New York played well last Sunday, holding New England’s high-powered offense in check for most of the game, and even held a 17-13 lead in the fourth quarter. The Jets went on to lose 22-17 but covered the spread as 9.5-point home underdogs.

With a 3-8 SU and 4-6-1 ATS record, the Jets are simply playing for pride at this point with no realistic path left to the postseason. The Jets are 6-0-1 ATS in their last seven games played in the month of December.

Monday night’s total is set at 48.5 points. The OVER is 5-2 in the last seven games between New York and Indianapolis.

Thanks to Houston entering Sunday’s action at 6-5 and Tennessee heading into its bye at 6-6, the Colts are still very much in the hunt for the division title in the AFC South at 5-6 SU and 5-5-1 ATS. There isn’t much room for error though, and the Colts can’t afford to let this one get away against the struggling Jets.
