Tickets might not be selling like hotcakes (or whatever they call that food in the UK) for the Indianapolis Colts versus the Washington Commanders in Week 4 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, but the weather doesn't care whether people show up or not. If it rains, it rains, and that could affect the game.

But here is the good part: While the London weather can be generally sketchy, on Sunday, things are looking really good. According to the Weather Channel, there is only a 20 percent chance of rain, the wind should only be around 8 mph, and the temperatures should be in the late 60s or low 70s Fahrenheit during the game.

Those temps, by the way, equate to 19 to 22 degrees Celsius. If you are a Colts fan who also happens to be British and are heading to the game, it is going to be beautiful.

Sunday's London weather should be beautiful to see the Indianapolis Colts defeat the Washington Commanders

The Commanders proved in Week 3 against the Seattle Seahawks that they can succeed in the rain and wind. The Colts are a team that plays its home games in a covered stadium if needed. Had it rained in London, that might have favored Indy's opponents.

Good weather should favor Indianapolis. Washington does have an excellent run defense, but taking on Jonathan Taylor is a different breed of horse. Taylor should be able to grind out yards while getting two or more explosive plays.

That, in turn, should make things easier for quarterback Daniel Jones, who might need to focus more on short and intermediate passes while the team will once again be missing explosive wide receiver Alec Pierce. If the receivers can keep their footing on a dry field, they should be able to expose a Commanders secondary that has been terrible through three games.

The Indianapolis Colts' defense also looked a lot better in Week 3 against an iffy Houston Texans offense. Whether the Washington Commanders would have had starting quarterback Jayden Daniels or not, if Indy plays as well as it did in Week 3, Washington's offense should be limited.

The game is set to kick off at 9:30 am ET, and that is 14:30 BST. Those Colts fans traveling to the game should get to see a victory, and as the weather is so excellent, go out and celebrate with a great meal at an outdoor restaurant. This weekend should be a great time to be a fan of Indianapolis football.
