Week 15 was pretty good for us, with Philadelphia and Minnesota creeping ever closer to missing the playoffs, and Cleveland and Arizona moving closer to making it. Washington, Seattle and Tennessee division futures are hanging in the balance, but both are favorites as of now.

We’re actually going to get off the Tennessee bet this week since there is some value in Indianapolis to win the division at the current price. Enjoy!

Our Futures Bet After Week 15

Indianapolis Colts +125 to win the AFC South

The posted numbers are usually available on FanDuel, but with the lack of value out there, we had to shop around to find this number. We make it more like +115, and given the Pittsburgh Steelers‘ freefall and the likelihood that the Jaguars will … do what it takes in Week 17, there’s a pretty good path to the division title for the Colts, given the relative difficulty of Tennessee’s last two games (at Green Bay and at Houston).

If you got Tennessee at the number above, you lock in a profit here.
