Pick via FOX Sports Betting Analyst Geoff Schwartz
The Colts continue to play bad football, while the Commanders look completely different without Carson Wentz in the lineup. No shock to this guy.
The Colts got pushed around by the Titans on both sides of the ball. Matt Ryan got hit more than 10 times, and news came out on Monday that Sam Ehlinger will be the new Colts QB moving forward (more on that later). Indianapolis' running backs only had 16 rushes for only 63 yards. Tennessee dominated both sides of the line, and it won't get easier this weekend. The Washington defense is difficult to run on, and I’m not sure the Colts can function well on offense without a run game. On the other side, the Titans' Derrick Henry had 128 rushing yards, and the offense controlled the game's pace.
I'll say it again — the Washington Commanders are a different team without Carson Wentz leading the way. Taylor Heinicke is not good, but he’s also not bad. Washington's offense just has a different vibe when he’s in. He makes enough plays to keep his team in the game each time he’s in the lineup. It’s tougher for them to win when they play better teams with his style of play. However, the Colts are not that much better of a team, and now that Matt Ryan is benched for this game, I like Washington's chances even more.
I expect the Commanders to keep this game close, allowing them a chance to cover. I’ll take them on Sunday.
PICK: Commanders (+4 at FOX Bet at time of pick) to lose by 4 points or fewer (or win outright)
