Colts open as 2.5-point favorites over Falcons

The Indianapolis Colts (1-1) are fresh off of their divisional win and will be playing host to the Atlanta Falcons (1-1) at Lucas Oil Stadium for a Week 3 matchup.

Coming off of the comeback win against the division-foe Tennessee Titans, the Colts will open the week as 2.5-point home favorites over the Falcons, per BetMGM.

The Colts instrumented a brilliant fourth-quarter comeback that was sparked by a 55-yard run from running back Jordan Wilkins. The Colts capped off the go-ahead drive with a touchdown pass from Jacoby Brissett to T.Y. Hilton. They left Nashville with a 19-17 road win.

The Falcons were on Sunday Night Football hosting the Philadelphia Eagles in a matchup that went back and forth all night. Despite the struggling run game, the Falcons used their elite wide receivers in Julio Jones (5-106-2) and Calvin Ridley (8-105-1) to lead the way to a 24-20 win.

The Colts and Falcons are set for a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff at Lucas Oil Stadium on Sunday, Sept. 22.
