Seattle's star quarterback was on his way to his fourth straight poor start, but he bounced back in the second half of a blowout against Atlanta.

The Colts brought in 44-year-old Philip Rivers due to injuries to their quarterbacks. Here's what coach Shane Steichen said two days prior to their game.

Kubiak was encouraged by Darnold’s second touchdown pass of the second half in Atlanta to Smith-Njigba. To avoid oncoming defenders the quarterback ran straight up in the pocket, the near the line of scrimmage. That bought him and Smith-Njigba time for a changed route across the goal line to get open for the scoring pass.

Seattle is a massive home favorite, given that the Colts will be starting a 44-year-old coming off the couch. Indianapolis wins in just 21% of the model's simulations, which offers notable value for the +700 Colts money line. Indy covers the big spread in 56% of the sims and the Over hits 59% of the time.
