Why This Trend Exists

The Colts' struggles after consecutive wins reveal a franchise plagued by inconsistency and mental fragility throughout different eras of leadership. This pattern stems from Indianapolis historically lacking the depth and coaching stability to maintain momentum when expectations rise. Whether under Chuck Pagano's conservative approach or Frank Reich's aggressive play-calling, the team repeatedly demonstrated an inability to handle success, often becoming overconfident against inferior opponents or pressing too hard against quality teams. The franchise's quarterback carousel since Andrew Luck's retirement has amplified this trend, as different signal-callers struggle with the pressure of maintaining winning streaks. Indianapolis frequently enters these spots as public favorites, creating inflated lines that sharp bettors can exploit. The team's offensive line inconsistencies and defensive lapses become more pronounced when opponents have extra motivation to knock them down a peg. The most profitable approach is targeting the Colts as road favorites after back-to-back wins, particularly in divisional matchups where familiarity breeds upset potential. This trend carries maximum weight during the middle portion of the season when playoff positioning creates additional pressure and the team's true character emerges under heightened expectations.
