The Colts hope to keep their slim playoff hopes alive when Indianapolis visits New Orleans to face the Saints on Monday Night Football. Indianapolis was derailed in training camp when Andrew Luck announced his retirement, but Jacoby Brissett has earned the team's respect. Still, Indianapolis has lost three in a row to drop to 6-7, and the defense struggled last week in a 38-35 loss to Tampa Bay. Things won't get easier against Drew Brees and the Saints, who are 10-3 and vying for home-field advantage in the NFC playoff picture. Kickoff is set for 8:15 p.m. ET at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.
New Orleans is a nine-point favorite in the latest Colts vs. Saints odds, while the over-under for total points scored is 47 after moving as high as 47.5. Before making any Saints vs. Colts picks, consult the Monday Night Football predictions from the SportsLine Projection Model.

Cameron Jordan is third in the league with 13.5 sacks after 14 weeks, and linebacker Demario Davis leads the team with 95 tackles.

Brissett has thrown for 2,496 yards and 18 TDs and Zach Pascal has been his most reliable option with T.Y. Hilton nursing a calf injury. The second-year receiver has 12 catches for 183 yards over the past two games.
