Free Sports Game Preview and Prediction: Indianapolis Colts vs. Detroit Lions
Friday, August 27, 2021 7:00 PM
Play: Point Spread: 2/-110 Detroit Lions
Detroit showed some fight vs Pittsburgh - Detroit can make plays, especially defending the run, where they gave up just 2.9 /carry to Pittsburgh last game. The Lions will try to keep the crowd in the game, by keeping drives going, which I see them being able to keep moving. Indianapolis were tough season running the rock - but I'm excited to see if the Lions defense can play consistently at a high level here.
Indianapolis has no excuse, they have been winning, but it's like pulling teeth - a team shouldn't have to have everything perfect to win. The Colts will try to turn up its defense another notch - as they have been sloppy vs the running game - and must get better with their punch in the middle of the line - their DTs push needs to get cleaned up, they have to do better.
Detroit wins outright!
