About Last Night
Colts hold on to end Patriots’ win streak
Saturday night NFL action returned last night and delivered a significant result as the Indianapolis Colts beat the New England Patriots, ending their 7-game winning run. The Colts led 20-0 after 3 quarters, but the Patriots closed to 20-17 with a pair of Hunter Henry TDs before a 67-yard scamper from Jonathan Taylor ended their hopes of a comeback win. The 8-6 Colts are now hot on the heels of the 9-4 Titans in the AFC South.
Sensational start to college football bowl season for Pickswise
The Pickswise college football handicappers went 4-2 on the sides in on Saturday’s Bowl games and 5-1 on the totals, continuing an amazing start that has seen us go 7-1 on the totals — with Saturday’s late game between Marshall and Louisiana failing to go under 55 by just 2 points, denying us a sweep! Better still, the college football bowl mega parlay cashed at +1022 odds!

Best Bet of the Day
Over 45.5 in Atlanta Falcons vs San Francisco 49ers
4:05 pm ET, CBS
Atlanta’s offense was inept when both Calvin Ridley and Cordarrelle Patterson were sidelined. But everything changes when Patterson is out there and he is doing wonders for QB Matt Ryan, who can play mistake-free football when Patterson is keeping defenses honest. Atlanta has scored at least 27 points in 5 of the last 8 games in which its most versatile player has suited up. Now the Falcons face a San Francisco defense that allows 7.2 yards per pass attempt and has grabbed the 5th-fewest interceptions in the NFL (6). Atlanta is dead last in the league by a country mile with 16 sacks, so Jimmy Garoppolo should be in line for a big day. The over is 5-2 in the 49ers’ last 7 at home and 4-1 in their last 5 against the NFC. It is also 4-1 in the last 5 meetings between the teams. Back the over. Check out our full preview of Falcons vs 49ers
