The Washington Commanders and Indianapolis Colts have both had Carson Wentz on their roster over the last year. But he will not be on the field for either team in this game, as he is out of the Commanders lineup due to a broken finger. Instead, it will be Taylor Heinicke and Matt Ryan squaring off in this inter-conference affair. In our NFL betting predictions for this week, we look at Commanders vs Colts as both teams look for their fourth win of the season.

Commanders vs Colts Betting Pick
This game will be played at Lucas Oil Stadium at 4:25 PM ET on Sunday, October 30, 2022.
Why Bet The Colts:
✅ The Colts are inferior to the Commanders on the offensive side of the ball, but they are a better defensive team. Indianapolis ranks eighth in the league in yards per play on defense this season, which compares favorably the the middle of the pack mark of the Commanders. Expect the Colts to clamp down on Taylor Heinicke this week en route to a victory at home.

✅ Washington is coming off of a win against the Green Bay Packers, but that is not the accomplishment that it once was. The Packers are reeling of late, and the Commanders are not good for having beaten them. Expect some regression on the road for the Commanders here, as they are 1-2 away from FedEx Field on the season.
✅ Washington has simply not done well enough at creating turnovers this season. They are tied for the fewest takeaways in the NFL this year, getting just four takeaways through Week 7. While Matt Ryan leads the league in interceptions thrown, Washington has not shown any sort of ability to consistently make opposing passers pay, which will hurt them here.
Washington Commanders
The Washington Commanders got a 23-21 win over the Green Bay Packers in Week 7 of the NFL season. They held Aaron Rodgers under 200 passing yards, coming back from a 14-3 first half deficit to take the game in the second half. This week, the Commanders hit the road, where they have struggled this season, to seek a third straight victory.
Taylor Heinicke was far from great in Week 7 for the Commanders, but his presence could represent an upgrade for Washington. Carson Wentz had been struggling mightily before going down with an injury. Heinicke threw two touchdowns and an interception against Green Bay, but connected on some deep throws that helped to set the Commanders apart, which he will look to do again here in Week 8.
Indianapolis Colts
Going into this Commanders vs Colts contest, the Indianapolis Colts lost for the second time this season to the Tennessee Titans. The Indianapolis offense could not get things going against Tennessee, getting held to just 10 points in Nissan Stadium. This week, the Colts return home, where they look for a win that would move them above .500 to 4-3-1 on the year.
If the Colts are going to win this game, they are going to need to do a better job of protecting the football. Matt Ryan has been a disaster at protecting the ball this year, throwing a league worst nine interceptions. If he allows a takeaway averse Washington team to take the ball from him this week, the Colts could be looking at a 3-4-1 record and a hill to climb to catch Tennessee in the AFC South.
