Editor’s note: NESN.com’s Mike Cole, Ricky Doyle and Andre Khatchaturian deliver their NFL picks every Thursday of the season. Here’s who they like in the Kansas City Chiefs-Indianapolis Colts Week 8 game, with the line from OddsShark.

(-2.5) Kansas City Chiefs at Indianapolis Colts, Sunday, 1 p.m.
Mike: Colts. Lots and lots and lots of points are on the way. Despite getting thrown around every week, Andrew Luck is having a remarkable season. Against a toothless Chiefs pass rush, he should continue that roll, which is enough to take the points.
Ricky: Chiefs. Kansas City hasn’t really unleashed Jamaal Charles since he’s been back. This would be a good week to do so and ride the running back duo of Charles and Spencer Ware to victory. Indianapolis has had trouble stopping the run.
Andre: Colts. The Chiefs’ pass rush is nonexistent this year (their eight sacks rank last in the NFL) and it?s not about to change, since Justin Houston will be out against Indianapolis. The way to beat Luck is to apply pressure and make him uncomfortable. Kansas City won?t be able to do that.
