The no longer undefeated Philadelphia Eagles will travel to take on the Indianapolis Colts in a Sunday afternoon NFL matchup at Lucas Oil Stadium. With that said, it’s a good time to check out our NFL odds series, which includes a Titans-Packers prediction and pick, laid out below.
Philadelphia is no longer undefeated, going 8-1 this season, suffering their first loss of the season on Monday night against the Washington Commanders. Still, head coach Nick Sirianni has his team in first place in a surprisingly good NFC East division.
The Indianapolis Colts have been in the news for all the wrong reasons recently. After firing head coach Frank Reich, Jeff Saturday was hired with no professional experience. The ensuing press conference was hilarious. Indianapolis defeated the Raiders in Saturday's first game to improve to 4-5-1.
