Indianapolis Colts vs. Green Bay Packers Best bets: Odds, predictions, player news, injury updates, and stats
This was to be a matchup featuring two dynamic quarterbacks with Anthony Richardson and the Colts (0-1) heading to Lambeau to take on Jordan Love and the Packers (0-1). It appears that storyline has been spoiled as Love’s knee injury late in the opener in Brazil against the Eagles has him at best questionable to take the field against the Colts. If Love is out, Malik Willis will step under center for Green Bay. This is Willis’ first season in Green Bay. The 3rd round pick out of Liberty played his first two seasons in Tennessee.
The Colts come to town having lost last week to Houston, 29-7. Anthony Richardson only completed 9 passes on the afternoon for 212 yards. He did throw 2 TDs but also was intercepted once. The 2nd-year QB also ran the ball 6 times for 56 yards. Jonathan Taylor rushed for 48 yards on 16 carries.
The Packers lost to the Eagles in Brazil, 34-29. Its difficult to pull much from the game tape of the Packers’ offense IF there is no Love other than the fact Josh Jacobs will get the ball regardless of who is under center. The veteran running back signed as a free agent in the offseason. He carried the ball 16 times for 84 yards and caught 2 passes for 20 yards in the opener.

NBC Sports Bet Best Bets:
Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) likes Indy’s RB1 to find the endzone.
“I like Jonathan Taylor to score a touchdown. We saw Saquon Barkley score not one, not two, but three touchdowns in his debut against this Packers’ team. I think that Jonathan Taylor could do something similar for the Colts.”
