Colts vs. Commanders Odds
Game Preview
We knew the Colts would defeat the Texans, and we predicted it last week. And not because of the offense, but the defense, which was good enough to pressure Stroud and deliver a good performance. DeForest Buckner and Adetomiwa Adebawore recorded 1.5 sacks, and they should make a difference against the Commanders as well.
Jonathan Taylor again had a mediocre performance with only 68 yards on 23 carries. He now faces one of the NFL’s best run defenses, which allows just 82 yards per game. Taylor is one of the top favorites for the NFL OPOY award, and if he needs to shine, this is the time.
However, the Commanders’ pass defense is terrible, allowing 280.3 yards per game, the 2nd worst in the league. They had some luck against the Seahawks because Sam Darnold wasn’t fully fit, yet he threw the ball 45 times.
On the other hand, the second-string QB, Marcus Mariota, was very rational, throwing for 183 yards and 3 TDs. Though we need to add that his pass completion rate was bad, 19-for-31. And that’s something you need to remember.
Colts vs. Commanders Predictions
Taylor vs. Commanders run defense will be the key matchup here. If one of the league’s best RBs records 90+ yards, the Colts should win. Also, Buckner and the rest of Indianapolis’ pass-rush defense look more than capable of disrupting Mariota on a neutral field, and that’s another reason to bet on the Colts.
