Pro Football Network: Colts 30, Buccaneers 27
Ben Rolfe writes: "Tom Brady going back into the building of one of his greatest rivalries will evoke many memories, but the Buccaneers cannot afford to get lost in the emotion of games past. The Colts are running the ball well, and the Buccaneers’ run defense has looked fallible in the last few weeks."

Andrew Buller-Russ writes: "Carson Wentz has started looking healthier and healthier but can he stay that way? Wentz or a backup, either way, Brady and the Bucs can handle pretty much any team in the league."

Teddy Ricketson writes: "The Colts are one of the hottest teams in the NFL heading into Week 12 on the back of running back Jonathan Taylor who had five total touchdowns in the team’s win. The Buccaneers are at a vulnerable point in their season, but they have the defensive line and linebackers to slow down Taylor. Plus, it is always hard to bet against Tom Brady with the way he gets fired up and can motivate his team."

Sportsnaut: Colts will stun Buccaneers in Week 12 game
Matt Johnson writes: "This all sets up for a low-scoring game, one that will come down to the final drives. With Brady not playing his best football right now against a Colts’ defense showing real improvement, Indianapolis could be celebrating a season-defining win in NFL Week 12."

CBS Sports: Colts have some things going for them vs. Buccaneers
Tyler Sullivan writes: "There may not be much movement on this line until Tampa Bay's Monday matchup with the Giants concludes, but they have opened as a field-goal favorite against the Colts on the road. It will be fascinating to see how one of the NFL's top-ranked run defenses tries to slow down Colts running back Jonathan Taylor after his franchise-record-setting performance on Sunday where he totaled five touchdowns in the win over Buffalo. In the last four games as an underdog, Indy has performed well, owning a 4-0 ATS record. Meanwhile, Tampa Bay has not played well outside of Raymond James Stadium as they are 0-5 ATS in their last five road games and are 0-6 ATS in their last six as a road favorite."

It writes: "The Buccaneers might be favored in this matchup, but Tom Brady and Co. need to be on upset watch. Jonathan Taylor is playing at an MVP-caliber level right now and he can find some holes against the Bucs’ defense. If Carson Wentz protects the football and the Colts’ defense steps up, this could be an even bigger statement game."
