The Washington Commanders (3-4) and Indianapolis Colts (3-3-1) play a Week 8 game Sunday at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. Kickoff is set for 4:25 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Commanders vs. Colts odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.
The Commanders have won back-to-back games to get themselves back near .500 football. Washington posted a 23-21 win over the Green Bay Packers last week as a 4-point underdog, cashing the Over in QB Taylor Heinicke‘s first start of the season. The Under was 4-0 in its previous 4 outings.
The Colts made huge headlines this week when coach Frank Reich announced veteran QB Matt Ryan would be benched for the season, with QB Sam Ehlinger taking the reins of the offense. While Ryan has been ruled out with a shoulder, Reich said Ryan would have been benched regardless.
Indianapolis is just 1 win back of the Tennessee Titans for 1st place in the AFC South, so it was a stunning move. The offense has struggled, though, scoring 20 or fewer points in 6 of 7 games overall. It’s no surprise the Under is 6-1 to date.
