Las Vegas Raiders vs Indianapolis Colts Odds

• Opening point spread: Colts -3
• Opening moneyline: Colts -160/Raiders +140
• Opening total: Over/Under 44.5 points scored
• Time: 1 p.m. ET Sunday (CBS)

UPDATE 12:30 P.M. ET SUNDAY: DraftKings opened the Colts -3 and have spent almost all week at -3.5. Indy got to -4 Saturday, then returned to -3.5 this morning.

As is the case at other sportsbooks, DK is seeing more Raiders action. On the spread, Las Vegas is attracting 68% of tickets/54% of cash. On the moneyline, it's 55% tickets and money on the Raiders.

The total opened at 44.5 and spent the first half of the week at 44. It then dropped off to 41.5 by this morning, with multiple stops along the way. DK is now at 42.5, with 68% of tickets/75% of money on the Over.

UPDATE 2:30 P.M. ET FRIDAY: Indy climbed from -3 to -3.5 Wednesday at BetMGM, with no movement since. Spread ticket count is actually 2/1-plus on Las Vegas, but spread money is running dead even.

On the moneyline, it's practically all Raiders, with early tickets and money in the 6/1 range.

The total opened at 44.5 and bottomed out at 42 Thursday, with stops at 44/43.5 along the way. It's now at 42.5, with 57% of tickets/63% of money on the Under.

UPDATE 2 P.M. ET TUESDAY: Las Vegas (7-8 SU/8-7 ATS) notched the upset of Week 16. The Raiders closed as 10.5-point underdogs at Kansas City and claimed a 20-14 victory.

However, that didn't influence The SuperBook risk room at all. The Raiders-Colts line remains at Indy -3 today.

UPDATE 11 P.M. ET SUNDAY: With a 5-1 SU and ATS run, Indianapolis was seemingly on the way to an AFC Wild Card bid. The Colts (8-7 SU/9-6 ATS) are still in the mix, but a loss at Atlanta didn't help. Indy was a 2.5-point 'dog and got rolled 29-10.

Las Vegas (6-8 SU/7-7 ATS) still has Week 16 work to do, and it's a big job. The Raiders travel to Kansas City on Christmas Day.

There's been no movement on the Raiders-Colts spread or total tonight.
