• ESPN simulations have Indianapolis as XX% favorites to win the game.

• XX% of sports bets are currently on Kansas City to win as (TBD) underdogs.

• The line for this game is Kansas City by 3 points.

• As road trips go, Indianapolis hasn’t been one of the Kansas City Chiefs’ favorite destinations. The Chiefs hope to change their fortunes in the Circle City when they take on the host Indianapolis Colts on Sunday.

• Kansas City’s offense has been unspectacular, but Smith takes care of the ball and running back Spencer Ware has emerged as a major weapon, ranking third in the NFL in scrimmage yards. Rookie receiver Tyreek Hill hauled in his third touchdown pass in last week’s 27-21 win over New Orleans and has given Smith a speedy deep threat to add to a solid receiving corps. The Chiefs’ defense has been the definition of a bend-not-break unit, ranking 23rd in total defense but 11th in scoring thanks to 14 takeaways – including a league-best 10 interceptions.

• Indianapolis ranks near the bottom of the league in nearly every defensive category but turned in one of its better defensive performances of the year in last week’s 34-26 win at Tennessee. Andrew Luck has returned to form after last year’s injury-shortened campaign and ranks third in the league in passing yards with 14 touchdowns against four interceptions. The offense has been fairly pass-heavy but can hurt opponents on the ground with veteran Frank Gore.

• Kansas City CB Marcus Peters has made five interceptions this season – more than 13 NFL teams.

• Indianapolis QB Andrew Luck has topped 300 yards passing in five of his last six home games, registering 15 touchdowns and a 100.5 rating over that span.

• Colts K Adam Vinatieri has made an NFL-record 43 consecutive field goals.
