Best Parlay (+530) for Indianapolis Colts vs Washington Commanders - Week 8 - October 30 | 2022 NFL Football Season
On Sunday (October 30), the Washington Commanders (3-4) will play the Indianapolis Colts (3-3-1) at the Lucas Oil Stadium in NFL action.
The Commanders have been playing good ball lately, registering a 23-21 upset over the Green Bay Packers last Sunday. With starting QB Carson Wentz on the mend, backup Taylor Heinicke got the nod, throwing for 201 yards and two scores in the win.
Washington held four-time NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers to under 200 yards passing and an 0-fer on third down. Commanders' star wide receiver Terry McLaurin finally had a signature game, going for 73 yards and a score on five receptions.
Meanwhile, the Colts had a chance to tie the Tennessee Titans for the AFC South lead, but the offense faltered in a 19-10 loss. After missing two weeks due to injury, megastar Jonathan Taylor returned to his role as the Colts' starting running back, accumulating 17 touches for 84 yards.
However, Taylor was limited in the run game, with Colts' QB Matt Ryan throwing the ball 44 times. Ryan, an offseason acquisition from the Atlanta Falcons, entered 2022 with high aspirations but will take a back seat to backup QB Sam Ehlinger for the rest of the season.

NFL Parlay Leg #1: Indianapolis Colts ML (-148)
The Sam Ehlinger era is about to get under way in Indianapolis. The former sixth-round pick spent his collegiate days at the University of Texas, throwing for 94 touchdowns and amassing nearly 13,500 yards in his 46 starts from 2017-2020.
He will usurp Matt Ryan, who has struggled for efficiency this season. The veteran has had as many touchdowns as interceptions this season, resulting in HC Frank Reich making a changing of guard. Regardless of who's under center, the Colts are more talented, especially in the trenches against a Washington team that ranks in the bottom half of the NFL in rushing yards allowed and gained.
NFL Parlay Leg #2: Washington Commanders RB Brian Robinson 40+ Rushing Yards (-260)
Like in the previous two weeks, Brian Robinson is the guy in Washington. The Alabama product has seen 37 carries in the last two games, resulting in 67 yards per game and a touchdown.
Nothing indicates that Robinson won't again carry the load of rushing attempts, and even at 3.4 a pop, he will only need roughly 12 rushes to surpass the 40-rushing yard threshold.
NFL Parlay Leg #3: Indianapolis Colts RB Jonathan Taylor Any Time Scorer (-110)
It seems like a decade ago Jonathan Taylor ran for 1,811 yards and 18 touchdowns en route to First Team All-Pro honors. Instead, it was just last season that the Wisconsin product broke out as an NFL star.
Unfortunately, injuries and poor yards per carry have put a damper on his season, but Sunday's matchup with Washington is the perfect opportunity for him to get back on track. Taylor, who has only one rushing touchdown on the year, is due for some positive regression against the poorest Commanders' defense.
NFL Parlay Leg #4: Indianapolis Colts WR Michael Pittman Jr. 40+ Receiving Yards (-275)
Michael Pittman has proven to be a model of consistency for the Colts, regardless of who's under center.
The USC product continues to improve, averaging a career-best 79.2 receiving yards per game in 2022. He started to find his form last year with Carson Wentz at Q and now seems to be one of the NFL's best pass catchers, even with mediocre QB play from Matt Ryan.
