Colts vs. 49ers Predictions

It has been the tale of two seasons for the Colts, who started off 7-1, but they are just 1-5 in their last 6 games. Their schedule was a big part of that early season success, as they have played 4 Top 8 teams over the last four weeks. 

The injury to QB Daniel Jones could have crippled their season, but QB Philip Rivers was serviceable against the Seahawks in a game they could have won. 

49ers QB Brock Purdy should be able to move the ball in the air, and the 49ers go on to win Monday night. 

49ers 27, Colts 16
