Indianapolis Colts at New England Patriots: Predictions, picks and odds for NFL Week 9 matchup
Bill Belichick's New England Patriots (4-4) look to get past a .500 winning percentage for the first time during the 2022 NFL season when they play host to Jonathan Taylor and the Indianapolis Colts (3-4-1).
The Patriots, led by quarterback Mac Jones and running back Rhamondre Stevenson, look to build off a Week 8 victory and take advantage of a matchup against Colts QB Sam Ehlinger, who will play in just his second career game. Taylor is also questionable for the Week 9 matchup. The game is scheduled to kick off Sunday at 1 p.m. ET from Gillette Stadium.

Lorenzo Reyes: Patriots 24, Colts 10
A rookie quarterback going against Belichick? It's tough to see Ehlinger faring well here, especially as the Patriots and Jones appear to be course-correcting.
Safid Deen: Patriots 24, Colts 20
Colts star Taylor is the player in this game, but he’s gotten off to a slow start compared to last season. I just don’t like Colts starter Ehlinger’s chances against a Belichick defense.
Lance Pugmire: Patriots 23, Colts 10
Belichick’s long history dominating inexperienced quarterbacks turns him toward Indianapolis’ Ehlinger. His red-zone opportunities will likely be even scarcer in the week’s lowest over-under total (39.5).
Jarrett Bell: Patriots 23, Colts 19
Nate Davis: Patriots 25, Colts 16
Tyler Dragon: Patriots 24, Colts 20
