![Buccaneers vs Colts Odds, Prediction: NFL Week 12 Preview Buccaneers vs Colts Odds, Prediction: NFL Week 12 Preview](https://images.actionnetwork.com/blog/2023/11/TBvsIND.jpg)
The latest Buccaneers vs Colts odds for NFL Week 12 have Indianapolis installed as 2.5-point favorites on the spread with a game total of 44.5.
Indianapolis and Tampa Bay didn’t come into the season with high expectations after the Colts picked in the top five in the NFL Draft and the Buccaneers lost Tom Brady to retirement. Through 11 weeks of NFL football, though, both teams are right in the middle of their respective playoff races. Tampa Bay is 4-6 but just one game out of first in the middling NFC South, while Indianapolis is down to backup quarterback Gardner Minshew but just one game out of the AFC wild card race.
Both of these defenses have major holes in their secondaries right now, and now indoors on the fast surface in Indianapolis, the total is a bit deflated under the key number of 45. Let’s get to my Tampa Bay-Indianapolis betting preview for NFL Week 12, which includes a Buccaneers vs Colts prediction.

Buccaneers vs. Colts
Matchup Analysis
The Colts offense has been a complete dud over the last two weeks against the Panthers and Patriots. The offense produced 13 points against a porous Carolina defense and then just 10 against New England. Gardner Minshew’s efficiency numbers have been steadily dwindling, but you could see a rejuvenated squad coming off the bye week.
Teams have had success against the Colts by not blitzing Minshew and dropping into coverage with a lot of defenders. They’ve basically sat there and waited for him to make mistakes.
That’s not really how the Buccaneers want to play defense. They’re going to bring pressure and blitz — Minshew has also made a ton of turnover-worthy plays when blitzed. He has one big-time throw and seven turnover-worthy plays in these situations.
The injury report for the Tampa secondary could leave the Bucs more exposed than usual, though. Jamel Dean has been ruled out, Carlton Davis III is questionable, linebacker Lavonte David is out and two defensive lineman are listed as questionable as well.
The Buccaneers defense has run well in high-leverage situations this year. I wrote last week about this defense being fortunate with fumble luck and in the red zone. Tampa Bay has the third-highest defensive fumble recovery rate and has also allowed by far the lowest red-zone touchdown percentage in the league.
Bet Tampa Bay vs. Indianapolis at FanDuel
The Colts aren’t a great offense overall, but Shane Steichen’s play calling and creativity have made them a solid red-zone offense. Indianapolis is seventh in red-zone touchdown percentage offensively.
The defense has had back-to-back elite games against Carolina and New England, but that’s more of a commentary on the quality of the opposing offenses faced.
The Colts are without their best run stopper in Grover Stewart. Top pass-rusher Kwity Paye is not 100%, the secondary is ravaged by injuries and there’s very little havoc happening for Gus Bradley’s defense overall.
Indianapolis cut Shaquille Leonard this week, which may actually be addition by subtraction because he had been relegated to a part-time role due to his lack of effectiveness and overall game speed.
Buccaneers vs. Colts
Betting Picks & Predictions
If you compare the total for this game to the recent contests the Colts have played, you can see why it is a bit deflated.
Indianapolis-Carolina closed at 43.5 despite Carolina’s offense being far worse than the Buccaneers’. Patriots-Colts closed at 42.5 in Germany despite New England being a fellow bottom-five offense along with Carolina.
The Colts still play at the quickest pace in the NFL, the Buccaneers offense is relatively healthy and this total should be 45. I’d bet over at anything 44.5 or better.
Pick: Over 44.5 or Better

New Technology Can Change the Way You Hear Live Events

An innovative technology company that enhances sound at live sporting events is looking to grow its operations in Indiana.
Valtteri Salomaki, co-founder and CEO of EDGE Sound Research, says his company is building end-to-end audio infrastructure that allows users to control how they hear live events. The new technology, he says, lets users enjoy real-world experiences through heightened sound.
Salomaki says the technology can be used at concerts, live sporting events, and at home. EDGE Sound Research works with sound from capture to reproduction. Salomaki calls it “a new way to create sound.”
The new technology also allows the user to turn materials, like walls, couches, or seat cushions, into sound by manipulating vibrations. Once the hardware is attached to a material, the user can hear sound coming from it. Salomaki says this will allow event-goers to “feel what the performer feels.”
Salomaki brought his idea to the Rally Innovation Conference pitch competition last year and walked away with a cash prize that allowed him to expand his research and development and create a new partnership with the Indiana Pacers.
Initially, he was just looking to network and share how his product could impact the Indiana economy, but Salomaki says the Rally Innovation Conference was crucial to the growth of his business. Since then, he has been able to create new partnerships and is now focused on building out the commercial arm of his business in Indiana.

INDIANAPOLIS — A celebration of Black LGBTQ+ pride was on full display on Monument Circle Saturday.

According to the Human Rights campaign, over 80 percent of black LGBTQ+ youth say they have experienced homophobia or transphobia in the black community.
Organizers hope the event serves as a reminder to queer people of color that they have a community in the city of Indianapolis.

“Black pride is important because black LGBTQ people need safe spaces to feel loved and celebrated in the State of Indiana,” President of Indiana Pride of Color Belinda Drake said.
The Human Rights campaign also says that racism is an issue in the LGBTQ+ community.
Nearly 75 percent of black queer youth say they have experienced racism in the queer community.
Indiana Pride of Color is working to improve the quality of life for Indiana LGBTQ+ BIPOC communities.

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — After a five-year hiatus, the BLQ+ Pride Summer Fest event was held on Monument Circle on Saturday.
The event featured several shopping, entertainment, and eating opportunities.
“They are doing testing, we have food vendors, we have alcohol for the adults, we have folks who are selling merchandise,” said Belinda Drake, president of Indiana Pride of Color. “We have the ice cone shop for the kiddos, too.”
The day is created to honor and celebrate Black, Queer joy in the city and state overall.
One of the vendors who came out to sell items and celebrate alongside the community is Nakeya Harris, the owner of Meraki Mobile Boutique. Her shop carries women’s clothing items, with a specific focus on statement items with bright colors. She also carries jewelry and additional staples.
“I enjoy people expressing themselves and being free, so I wanted to be a part of that,” Harris said.
Local LifeJourney Church was also in attendance at the event. They aim to extend a safe space for worship to anyone interested.
“Today we are trying to reach out to communities of color and just say we have a welcoming space where people can come and be themselves
Though it is the first event of its kind since 2019, the Summer Fest is set to return to Monument Circle next year, and for many years to come.
