Updating Vegas Watch: Lions still 2.5-point underdogs versus Colts in Week 8

Updating the BetMGM betting lines for the Detroit Lions Week 8 game against the Indianapolis Colts.

According to BetMGM, the Detroit Lions (3-3) opened Week 8 as 2.5-point underdogs to the Indianapolis Colts (4-2) and after a week’s worth of betting the line hasn’t moved.

The over/under did see some slight movement, dropping from an already low 50.5 points, down to 49.5 points. Considering the Colts only give up 19.2 points on average, and the Lions have only given up 19 points on average since refocusing their defense after the bye, the experts are anticipating a low scoring outing.
