Why are the Colts a good bet at +5.5?

In Week 1, Indianapolis quarterback Andrew Luck looked great in his first action in over a year. He completed 39 of 53 passes for 319 yards. Luck threw 2 TD passes to only a single interception. Luck’s TD throw went to tight-end Eric Ebron. If the Colts’ offense can play this well, Indianapolis should have a shot to keep it close versus a decent Washington team.

Why are the Redskins a good bet at -5.5?

Are the Redskins a safe bet for NFL Week 2? Washington’s offense pummeled Arizona’s defense for 24 points in Week 1. Alex Smith threw for 247 yards. Running back Adrian Peterson rushed for 96 yards. AP also caught passes for 70 yards. Washington easily beat Arizona because tight-end Jordan Reed and third down back Chris Thompson are already on the same page as Smith. If Washington’s offense continues to click, they could blow out the Colts on Sunday.

Colts at Redskins Final NFL Betting Analysis:

Luck played great, but Indianapolis only rushed for 75 yards in the 23-34 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. Indy can’t count on Luck to provide fireworks every time they step onto the field. Even when Luck plays well, the Colts can lose. If you’re a Colts fan, you’re wondering how the heck your team will stop Washington’s offense. With Smith at quarterback, Washington can beat you so many ways. He throws to every possible target and he doesn’t turn the ball over. Adrian Peterson sure looked like he’s got some football left after demolishing Arizona’s defense. The Colts allowed 101 rushing yards to the Bengals.  Washington should easily eclipse that. This is a different Washington team from last season while the Colts haven’t improved enough on either offense or defense. Washington dominates Indy.  

NFL Week 2 Pick: Washington Redskins -5.5
