I favored Indianapolis straight-up last week with Joe Flacco and was even more impressed with its performance with Anthony Richardson back as QB1. The powerful Lions will receive most of the public bets and scare off bettors who want to avoid betting against them, but I'll take the 8 points with the Colts. The Lions are soft against the pass (27th in passing yards allowed), and we know Indy wants to run the hell out of the football with Richardson back under center and Jonathan Taylor behind him.
Detroit has been running over the competition, but it's not easy to cover as often as it has this season. I can't get to nine points when I project this game's outcome and feel very confident the Colts are being overlooked.
