Colts vs. Raiders Line Shifts Drastically Following Jeff Saturday Hire
By Reed Wallach
The Indianapolis Colts fired head coach Frank Reich on Monday morning, leaving behind a 41-35-1 overall record during his tenure in Indy.
That wasn't the most surprising news given the team's 3-5-1 start with lofty expectations for 2022, but everyone apparently had the same perplexed reaction to the follow-up report, leading to double and triple-check that they weren't reading a fake Adam Schefter tweet.
No fake report here. ESPN broadcaster and High School football coach Jeff Saturday will be taking over in place of Reich as head coach of the Colts. Saturday, the former center of the team, has no NFL coaching experience, but will finish the season on an interim basis. With that, the betting market has responded to the newly minted coach by betting on the offense struggling.
Here's the latest odds for the Colts in their Week 10 matchup against the Raiders on the road.

The opening market for this game was Raiders -2 with a total of 42, but there has been a seismic shift in market now with the Raiders laying 6 and a total of 42.5.
It doesn't help that Saturday has zero experience and the team has zero people in the building that have called an offensive play, but the fact that Sam Ehlinger has looked overwhelmed at quarterback thus far is doing him any favors.
Here’s one of the biggest issues that new Colts’ interim HC will encounter once he arrives in Indianapolis later today: no one on his staff has called NFL plays before. It will be one of Saturday’s first orders of business, figuring out who will call plays Sunday vs. the Raiders. https://t.co/MGiy2TmIWS
