For the second week in a row, the Detroit Lions (3-3) open up the week as 2 1/2 point underdogs, this time to the Indianapolis Colts (4-2), according to BetMGM. With a winning record and coming off a bye week, it’s no surprise the Colts get the early edge in this matchup.
The over/under is quite a bit lower than previous weeks, checking in at just 50.5 points combined. Although, when examing how both defenses have played recently, it’s probably a good starting point. On average, the Colts top-level defense is only giving up 19.2-points a game. And since returning from their bye week, the Lions have also, on average, only allowed 19 points per game in their previous two.
