Indianapolis Colts Betting Trends
Jeff Saturday’s Indianapolis Colts arrive in Minnesota as losers of three straight contests.
After a surprising comeback win over the Las Vegas Raiders, the Colts have looked lifeless over the past three weeks. Falling in quick succession to the Philadelphia Eagles, Pittsburgh Steelers, and finally, a Sunday night walloping at the hands of the Dallas Cowboys. So far, owner Jim Irsay’s experiment has looked like a total dud.

Ultimately, Ryan leads the league in fumbles and the Colts offensive line has struggled all year. Outside of former all-pro Quenton Nelson, the Colts lack the pieces on the offensive line to be fundamentally successful and have struggled because of it. Their lack of execution and turnovers on offense can be directly traced to the lines’ inability to keep the pocket clean for their aging quarterback. That’s unlikely to change on Sunday against an underrated Vikings pass-rush.
That being said, the betting trends favor Indianapolis as the Colts are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 Saturday games.
Minnesota Vikings Betting Trends
Despite the fact that Minnesota is 10-3, Vikings fans must be lamenting squandered chances. After all, the Vikings’ offense racked up 416 total yards and 23 first downs in last week’s loss to Detroit.
All-world wide receiver Justin Jefferson had a career outing with 11 catches for 223 yards.

Meanwhile, Kirk Cousins has been his usual efficient self. Especially in 1pm kickoff games. In fact, the Vikings have averaged 27.25 points per game this season in eight 1pm kickoff slots. Additionally, the Vikings have only lost to teams with high-powered offenses, in the Eagles, Cowboys and Lions. While the Colts have failed to score more than 20 points in three straight games.
On top of that, Minnesota has been dominant against the spread at home recently, covering in four of their last five home games. Intriguingly, the over is 5-1 in the Vikings’ last six home contests.
Colts vs Vikings Prediction
Don’t let their record fool you, this Colts defense is an underrated unit. Indianapolis’ defensive unit ranks 8th in total defense and 3rd against the pass. However, on the other side of the football, the Colts have turned the ball over an NFL-leading 26 times already this season. That’s a recipe for disaster. This looks like a get-right game for the Minnesota Vikings.
Pick: Minnesota Vikings -4 (-110), Risk: 1 unit
2022 NFL Record: 9-9-1 -1 unit
