One of only two games where both teams are heading to a bye sees the winless Colts desperate for a win before getting their annual break.

The Chiefs meanwhile can rest somewhat easier having broken their victory cherry in Week 4 against the Vikings. Indy meanwhile suffered more injuries and seem headed for the first overall pick in the draft.

Indy is 10-1 SU and 9-2 ATS in their past 11 games with KC but this is not the same Colts team.
