The Indianapolis Colts are still months away from hosting the Seattle Seahawks for the Week 1 opener at Lucas Oil Stadium, but it seems they have started out as favorites.

A lot can change between the middle of May and Sept. 12 when the regular season kicks off. Yet, the Colts are currently 2.5-point home favorites over the Seahawks, according to BetMGM.

The Colts will be looking like a much different team when they step on the field to begin the 2021 season. Carson Wentz will be working behind center as the new quarterback while recently-signed left tackle Eric Fisher will be working his way back from his Achilles injury in January.

First-round pick Kwity Paye will be looking to carve out a starting role on the defensive line in hopes of stopping Russell Wilson and a Seahawks offense that features two prominent receivers in DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett.

There is a long way to go before Week 1 arrives, but it seems the Colts are getting some love to open the season with a win.
