Indianapolis Colts head coach Frank Reich has had a rough go of it in Week 1 over his career.

The good news is, he's been outstanding in Week 2.

Reich's Week 1 struggles trend held true last week, as the Colts gave up four Russell Wilson touchdowns at home, falling 28-16 to the Seahawks. The loss put Reich's Week 1 record at 0-3 over his three years with the team.

However, the following week, the Colts under Reich seem to fix the mistakes that ailed them from the week before. Via Colts reporter Kevin Bowen, Reich is 3-0 in Week 2 games as head coach of Indianapolis.

Furthermore, via NFL.com, Indianapolis responded with a win after every loss in 2020. The Colts were 5-0 after defeats a season ago as Indy marched to the playoffs with an 11-5 record.

Public bettors are still fading Indianapolis despite the numbers

Regardless of the Colts' ability to turn things around following a loss, the Los Angeles Rams are one of the three biggest liabilities today over at WynnBET Sportsbook, taking in 80.6% of the bets at -3.5 points on the road, as well as 87.2% of the betting handle.

If you were to take Indianapolis on the moneyline like I am this week in our BetSided NFL Upset Alert plays for Week 2, you'd be well in the minority with the money being collected at WynnBET. The Colts, at odds of +165 (win $165 on a $100 bet)m have taken in just 9.1% of the total bets, and even less money at 7.4%.
