Washington are tipped to cover as a betting underdog in London.

The Colts defense has given up a ton of points already this season and cannot seem to defend the run, so a heavy dose of Jacory Croskey-Merritt can help the Commanders – at the very least – keep this one close.

Key Numbers – Will Commanders Record 3rd Cover?

  • Washington Commanders have covered in 2 of their 3 games
  • The Over has cashed in all 3 of Washington’s games so far
  • The Over has hit in 2 of Indianapolis’ 3 games this season
  • These two defenses are giving up a combined 61 points per game

Colts Lead All-Time Head-To-Head; Commanders Won Last Meeting

  • Indianapolis Colts lead the all-time series 21-11
  • Washington Commanders won 17-16 when the two teams last met in October 2022

Indianapolis Colts Got First Win Last Weekend

Indianapolis head to London on the back of their first win of the season, which improved their record to 1-2.

The Colts kicked off the campaign at home and suffered a blowout loss at the hands of Baltimore, 41-23.

They produced a much better performance in their road opener a week later, but they were unable to avoid another defeat as they fell 33-30 to Kansas City in overtime.

Indianapolis were able to avoid an 0-3 start though, as they finally got off the mark with a 19-17 victory at home to Houston last weekend.

Daniel Jones went 24/36 for 235 yards, one touchdown and one interception, while Jonathan Taylor rushed for 68 yards in the win.

Washington Commanders Aim To Build On First Win

Washington also make the long trip to London looking to follow up on their first victory of 2026.

The Commanders opened the season with back-to-back road games against division rivals, and came up short in both of those matchups.

They were beaten 24-22 in Philadelphia, before heading to Arlington for a 37-20 defeat at the hands of Dallas.

Washington finally got their first win last weekend though, as they knocked off defending champions Seattle in their home opener, 33-31.

Marcus Mariota – starting for the injured Jayden Daniels – went 19/31 for 183 yards and three touchdowns.
