It’s not winter yet, but Indianapolis has already seen nearly 2 inches of snow, according to the National Weather Service.

Snow blew in late on the afternoon of Nov. 9, bringing with it a winter weather advisory, and stopped falling midday on Nov. 10, dropping 1.8 inches on the capital city. Areas north of Indianapolis saw slightly more precipitation, with Frankfort topping out at 3.4 inches.

The cold front isn’t over quite yet. Scattered flurries are possible before 4 p.m. Nov. 11.

But temperatures will warm back up to a sunny 55 degrees by Nov. 12, the National Weather Service predicts.

When does winter actually begin? According to meteorologists, Dec. 1 starts the season, though most people push that back to Dec. 21 and the winter solstice.

Here’s how much snow was reported to the NWS on the morning of Nov. 10. Snow continued to fall in some parts of Indiana into the early afternoon, so a finalized report expected tomorrow will likely show slightly higher totals, an agency spokesperson explained.

Berlin finally gets its first regular-season NFL game at Olympiastadion, with Indianapolis designated as the host for a true neutral-site theater. The kick lands at 3:30 p.m. local—a breakfast window here at home, crisply stamped for 9:30 a.m. ET—so coffee meets kickoff while two seasons ask to be defined. The place will pulse: at least 72,000 in the bowl after million-plus ticket requests turned the week into a citywide event. The surface won’t steal the script, either, because a stitched hybrid bluegrass field went in this summer to meet NFL specifications. Atlanta arrives having reset at kicker to steady late-game decisions, while Indianapolis leans into the “host” cadence and a stage designed to feel like January. Atlanta’s late-week pivot to Zane Gonzalez after Parker Romo’s missed extra point resets fourth-down calculus and red-zone nerve. Indianapolis arrives off a 27–20 defeat scarred by six turnovers and an utterly and horrifically human Daniel Jones, sharpening a ball-security mandate on Berlin’s fast, trustworthy surface. Below is my prediction for NFL Week 10’s game between the Indianapolis Colts and the Atlanta Falcons.

Here’s how I’ll play it. I’ll be pumping out these predictions for individual games all season, with plenty of coverage here on DraftKings Network. Follow my handle @dansby_edits for more betting plays.

The edges start where film meets math. Atlanta brings heat at 52.2% with a 39.9% pressure rate, a 53.5% pass-rush win rate, and twenty-four sacks. Indianapolis answers with 25.3% pressure allowed and nine sacks surrendered, so protection governs cadence before snap one. The Colts rank fourth in neutral pass rate and keep calling it if the score stays tight. Coverage tilts the route tree because Atlanta lives in 75.8% zone and only 21.0% man. Drake London punishes zone with 191 routes for forty and five-thirty-four, while man has yielded seven for fifty-three on fifty-six routes. Indianapolis toggles roughly one-quarter man and two-thirds zone and squeezes man explosives to 11.8% with a 37.0% first-down or touchdown clip.

Alec Pierce led targets last week and owns a 20.4 aDOT, while other primary options sit below 9.0. That depth forces a safety to honor the roof and frees Michael Pittman Jr. to carve glance, dig, and deep out. Against man sprinkles, Pittman sits at eleven for one-oh-five on sixty-one routes, while Pierce owns six for one-twenty-two on fifty-four. Sauce Gardner’s arrival tightens third downs and red-zone leverage, letting Indianapolis keep a safety honest and choke stagnant isolations. Atlanta must earn releases through motion, stacks, and bunch, then pivot to crossers and backs underneath.

Jonathan Taylor carries an RB1 projection on a 113.5 total-yards baseline and fits duo and inside-zone into light boxes. Indianapolis sustains 383.3 yards per game and keeps second-and-manageable alive. Atlanta counters with Bijan Robinson’s outlet access because Indianapolis has allowed forty-one catches and two-seventy-three to backs. Availability trims ceilings both ways: DeForest Buckner sits out, while Matthew Bergeron and Storm Norton are out and Chris Lindstrom battled late-week limitations, with Kaleb McGary on injured reserve. Zane Gonzalez replaces the kicker after a one-point loss and brings an 80.0% career rate with a long of fifty-seven. Indianapolis arrives off six turnovers that should regress toward a cleaner sheet. In this exchange, third-and-four becomes the truth test, not third-and-ten.

Falcons vs. Colts pick, best bet

The counterargument wears pads and breathes fire. Atlanta can squeeze play-action depth and pull a premium projection down into the mid-twenties; a 43% pass-rush win rate (6th) attacking a line with a 57% pass-block win rate (25th), paired with −0.02 defensive EPA/play and a 44.69% success rate allowed, creates honest turbulence. Drake London keeps chains alive when coverages soften; Atlanta sits in zone on roughly 76% of snaps, and he leads the team with 10.13 targets per game and 587 receiving yards. A stable first swing from Zane Gonzalez can also calm the fringes; he carries an 80.0% career field-goal clip on 96 of 120 with a long of 57. Third-down defense lives in the top-ten band at about 36% allowed, which drags snap counts if first-down runs land. That path gains credibility with Indianapolis’ four-man rush trimmed by absences: the defense sits at −0.04 EPA/play with a 6.68% sack rate, and DeForest Buckner is out.

I still back Indianapolis because stability beats volatility on neutral grass. The Colts anchor the plan with 25.3% pressure allowed and only nine sacks; that protection marries to an offense at 0.18 EPA/play (1st) with a 50.09% success rate and a 4.29% sack rate. The coverage menu answers both zone spacing and man emergencies, and Sauce Gardner now erases the opponent’s best access point on money downs; the defense has allowed 45.63% success, posted a 2.57% interception rate, and historically held man-look explosives to 11.8%. Identity shows up everywhere: a top-tier neutral pass rate and a 27.5 team total, plus 32.2 points per game and 383.3 yards per game (2nd). Atlanta’s interior strain meets a defense comfortable heating pockets and spot-dropping behind it; with zone near 76%, a 43% rush win rate, and a 29.4 seconds-per-snap pace that suppresses volume when trailing, the Falcons must thread a thinner needle. Indianapolis can keep stacking second-and-manageable and win the possession math; the Colts’ third-down offense grades in the top-ten neighborhood and the red-zone touchdown rate sits at 71.4% (5th).

I’m laying the points with Indianapolis; a 25.3% pressure-allowed spine and Sauce Gardner’s clamps flip third downs and red-zone truth. A fourth-ranked neutral pass rate and 71.4% red-zone touchdowns sustain drives on neutral grass while Atlanta chases answers. Colts −6.5 is the bet, 27–19 on my card, with steady chains, fewer negative plays, and Alec Pierce’s depth keeping safeties stretched.

Final: Colts 27, Falcons 19. Colts win big in Berlin.

Best bet: Colts -6.5 (-110) vs. Falcons

For a prop lean, I’m playing Bijan Robinson 6+ receptions at +140 fits the geometry and the math. Indianapolis has allowed 41 running-back catches for 273 yards, about 5.1 targets per game to backs, and they toggle 23.8% man with 68.4% zone that encourages swings and arrows over stubborn boundary shots. Sauce Gardner’s arrival tightens outside access, so Atlanta should funnel early-down rhythm to Robinson and lean on designed screens when Indianapolis sits in shell. The morning stage rewards patience, and Atlanta’s 29.4 seconds per snap sustains outlet volume when chasing possessions. Robinson just drew 10 targets and caught 8 last week, a usage spike that matches this environment. With a spread hovering near Colts −6.5, two-minute sequences should add another look or two late. At 7–8 targets, last week’s 80% catch clip yields 5.6–6.4 receptions, which clears 6+ often enough to justify +140.

Best prop lean: Bijan Robinson 6+ receptions (+140)
