FAQ: American football, NFL. Recommended betting amount (bankroll): 2%.
Reasoning: Both teams are considered lower-tier this year, where making it to the playoffs may not be an expectation, but starting 0-3 would look embarrassing next to their names. Chicago already managed a necessary win in the 1st round, so they can relax somewhat. They won’t be positioned so poorly on the ladder for a while that anyone can criticize them for it. Indianapolis, on the other hand, started with 2 losses, and both games were decided by just 1 possession, so you could say they were somewhat unlucky. It may even be embarrassing that they couldn’t beat an opponent even with a backup quarterback last week… As M. Willis arrived in the league a year earlier and practically counted as a starting quarterback in Tennessee for 2 years, that failure could be attributed to the opponent having a more skillful quarterback. However, this situation no longer applies today, as Chicago is starting with rookie Caleb Williams again! Although he is undoubtedly more talented than Anthony Richardson, the Colts’ second-year QB, the latter’s slightly more experience might still be worth a win.
