Indianapolis has lost two quarterbacks in Daniel Jones and Anthony Richardson. Third-string QB Riley Leonard might be able to play, but he left last week's game with an Achilles injury. They signed Philip Rivers this week, who retired five years ago! Needless to say, the offensive game plan will have to be basic. The run defense is sixth in the league, plus 13th in points allowed (21.9 per game). Seattle's run defense is ranked fourth, and they're second defensively on third down (32.60%) and in points allowed (17.4 per game). The Seahawks have won three in a row, allowing a total of 33 points. Take Indianapolis/Seattle UNDER the total.

Pro Picks
Indianapolis at Seattle
Betting on Pete Carroll in preseason has almost become a no-brainer as he is 32-17 straight-up and 34-14-1 ATS and 20-5 ATS against AFC opponents. Carroll has covered the number five of the last seven opening preseason games and he won and covered all four in 2017, including 48-17 over the Chargers in Week 1. Conversely, Indianapolis is 3-8 ATS its last Week 1 games and lost to Detroit 24-10 last year in the opening week. The Colts, of course, have a new coach in Frank Reich, but so much depends on the health of Andrew Luck, who didn't play a down last season due to shoulder surgery. Even that won't make much difference if there isn't improvement in the offensive line as backup Jacoby Brissett was an easy target as the Colts allowed a league-high 56 sacks. The Seahawks parted with several former key players and most of the coaching staff. That should give everyone reason to come out and impress the new assistants as well as the new players wanting to look good immediately. Russell Wilson's backups are Austin Davis and Alex McGough. Davis has been around for seven years, but has only played in the regular season for three seasons and appeared in three games with no stats for Seattle in 2017. McGough was drafted in the seventh round of the 2018 draft. Brissett, Brad Kaaya and Phillip Walker back up Luck, who probably will have limited snaps as he gets back into game condition. Kaaya did not make it past the practice squad for three teams in 2017 and the same for Walker with the Colts. Look for Seattle's winning preseason trend to continue, so take the Seahawks.
