The Buffalo Bills will look to retain the top spot in the AFC when they host the Indianapolis Colts in Week 11 on Sunday.

The Bills are suddenly under plenty of pressure after the New England Patriots' hot streak of five wins in a row. Buffalo looked like favorites to win the AFC East, but the Patriots currently have more wins than the Bills and a Colts win on Sunday would see Bill Belichick's side become division leaders.

The Colts' playoff hopes are hanging by a thread. They are currently 5-5 and need at least five more wins to stand a chance of making it to the playoffs. Their margin for error is minuscule and a loss on Sunday could realistically end their playoff hopes.

It's a big game for both sides as neither can afford defeat.

Buffalo Bills vs. Indianapolis Colts betting picks

The Bills are seven-point favorites, but they have yet to perform well against a formidable opponent so far this season. Their only excellent performance against a top team was their win over the Kansas City Chiefs, who have been struggling all year long for form and consistency. Sunday's game will be much closer than the spread suggests, and the Colts could even pull off an upset win. Bet Indianapolis to cover.
