The Indianapolis Colts (4-2) visit the Detroit Lions (3-3) at Ford Field for a Sunday 1 p.m. ET contest in Week 8. Below, we take a look at the early betting odds and lines at BetMGM Sportsbook.
The Colts had a bye last week after earning a 31-27 come-from-behind victory at the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 6. Indianapolis has won four of its last five games, and a solid defense has led the way in the victories. The Blue Horseshoe heads into Sunday’s game ranked in the top 5 in points allowed (19.2 per game), rush defense (88.3 yards per game) and pass defense (199.7).
The Lions are coming off a wild Week 7 game at the Atlanta Falcons Sunday. Detroit won on a Matthew Stafford-to-T.J. Hockenson touchdown pass as the clock expired. The 11-yard score marked Stafford’s 25 completion on an afternoon that saw him throw for 340 yards. It sends the Lions into Sunday’s home game having won three of their last four.
