Colts vs. Vikings prediction & best bet
Under 41.5 (-110 via DraftKings)
The real MVP of the 5-0 Vikings has been DC Brian Flores. His aggressive blitz packages and playcalling have led Minnesota to the top of the NFL in points allowed per game (12.8) through 6 weeks.
Daniel Jones has regressed as the Colts' QB1. Indianapolis' 26-20 loss at home to the Titans in Week 6 led to the firing of long-time GM Chris Ballard. Now, the Colts will try to snap a two-game skid on the road against the league's best scoring defense.
Jonathan Taylor likely won't fare well against the Vikings. Minnesota has held 3 of 5 opponents under 70 total rushing yards. The Vikings have also forced 2+ turnovers in 4 of 5 matchups.
The Colts are plagued by turnover woes and miscues, committing 3 against the Titans, including a blocked punt that was returned for a touchdown.
Minnesota is 4-1 on point total unders this season. The total has steamed down from 44.5 to 41.5. Let's bet this total before it gets any smaller.
Let's bet Under 41.5 at -110 odds on DraftKings.
📡 SBR Edge: Skoling Under
Dating back to last season, the Vikings have gone Under the point total line in 7 of 8 games played.
Flores and Vikings Defense Shut Down Colts' Offense
Kyler Murray and the Vikings' offense are beginning to gel and face a porous Colts defense. Expect Minnesota to score at least 21-24 points against a bottom-5 Indianapolis defense.
This comes down to how the Vikings' top-ranked defense contains Colts RB Jonathan Taylor. He's a high-volume stud, but his production has been trending down. Flores and the Vikings' defense will shut down the Colts for a comfortable win at home to improve to 6-0.
Play to: Under 38.5
Score prediction: Vikings 24, Colts 13
