4-3 last week
colts -2.5 __even matchup, could go either way, this is a strong hunch
vikes -1.5 __ why this line on a solid 3-1 homie - waaay overdue for a win - is not -3.5 or -4 not sure but the 5-4 vikes r still a good team, esp. vs the 4-4-1 cards which have achieved their mediocrity w/ the benefit of 6 home games and only 3 away - all 3 being loser teams - and they lost 2 of those, by 15 @Buffalo and lost by 10 @Carolina, but did manage a road win at the 1-8 49ers. cards coming off an unimpressive 23-20 home win vs those same bottom-dwelling 49ers! not impressed, r u ??! meanwhile sure the vikes have lost 4 straight. they're a good team in a slump. but 3 of those were on the road (2 @ winning teams) and their lone home loss was in OT - also to a winning team. vikes r clearly the better team going in, and overdue. anything can happen of course but i see excellent line value here. injuries dont appear to b a significant factor
