The Indianapolis Colts (0-1) and Green Bay Packers (0-1) meet Sunday. Kickoff from Lambeau Field is set for 1 p.m. ET (FOX). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NFL odds around the Colts vs. Packers odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.
Indianapolis failed to complete the comeback in a 29-27 loss vs. the Houston Texans Sunday while covering as a 3-point underdog. The Colts were outgained 417-303 yards and turned the ball over once while forcing no turnovers. QB Anthony Richardson threw for 212 yards and 1 TD on only 9 completions, but his 1 INT and 10 incompletions set the team back.
Green Bay lost 34-29 to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sept. 6 in Brazil while failing to cover as a 1-point underdog. The Packers won the turnover battle 3-1, but QB Jordan Love’s injury on the final drive left the Packers with a lot to worry about.

Colts at Packers picks and predictions
Prediction
Colts 28, Packers 9
Moneyline
PASS.
I like the Colts to win handily and the spread offers a better value.
Against the spread
BET COLTS -3 (-105).
Without their starting QB, the Packers really have no chance in this matchup against a very solid Indianapolis squad that has big-play potential. With QB Malik Willis set to make the 4th start in his 3-year, 17-game NFL career, the Packers will likely have to rely on their solid run game here, but the Colts will simply be too much for this bruised and battered Packers squad.
Over/Under
LEAN UNDER 40.5 (-110).
Without Love, Green Bay simply won’t do enough offensively to help this game hit the Over. Green Bay also has a very solid defense that will make like difficult for the Colts, so I don’t see them being able to score enough to push this game to hit the Over either.
This is a lean because Green Bay’s offense will likely fail to do much of anything, which could give the Colts a lot of scoring opportunities and drives that start with great field position.
The Over also hit in each team’s opening game this year.
