Over at NFL PickWatch, the Colts are viewed as commanding favorites. Of the expert picks on the site, 92% of them have chosen the Colts to come out with a win before their expected bye in Week 7.
Even though the Colts are coming off of a loss, they should find it plenty easy to get pressure on rookie quarterback Joe Burrow, who has been sacked the most times (22) in the NFL through five games.
Now that we are past the five-hour COVID-19 scare from Friday, the Colts can turn their attention back to getting into the win column before their bye week.
