Where to Bet on the Indianapolis Colts Making the Playoffs

There's no one-size-fits-all recommendation for Colts betting. All the Kentucky betting apps come with unique pros and cons. But big-name books generally offer a wider selection of markets. Smaller operators can't match that.

That means books like DraftKings, FanDuel, and Fanatics Kentucky are your best bet.

For an under-the-radar pick, we recommend bet365 Kentucky.

Looking at the Colts Playoff History & Results

From 1998 to 2018, the Indianapolis Colts enjoyed 21 consecutive seasons with either Peyton Manning or Andrew Luck on the roster. But since Luck retired in 2019, the Colts have opened each year with a new starting quarterback.

Assuming he's healthy, Anthony Richardson will break that streak this season. But he'll need to prove he can stay on the field for the Colts to replicate the postseason success they had under Manning and Luck. In the section below, we broke down everything you need to know about the recent Colts playoff history:
