Two teams desperate for a win meet tonight on Sunday Night Football as the Minnesota Vikings host the Indianapolis Colts at U.S. Bank Stadium for an 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff on NBC.

Joe Flacco will start over Anthony Richardson, which hasn’t impacted the Sunday Night Football odds much. The Vikings are still favored by 5.5. Will Flacco’s presence under center affect other Colts vs. Vikings SNF prop bets? Mike Spector breaks down the matchup in our Colts vs. Vikings early picks, and again in his Colts vs. Vikings prediction

The Vikings have allowed 61 points during their losing streak, great news for Flacco and Co. Meanwhile, the Vikings’ seventh-ranked scoring offense faces a defense that has struggled mightily against the run.

The below props are part of our NFL Week 9 predictions

NFL picks made Saturday; odds subject to change. Our NEW NFL player prop odds tool can help you find the best odds on any market across legal sportsbooks in your area!

Joe Flacco Over 234.5 passing yards (-110) 

Flacco has only thrown for over 200 yards in one of his three games this season. However, his low passing yardage totals are more due to the level of competition than any personal deficiencies. Against the Jacksonville Jaguars and their 31st-ranked pass defense, he threw for 359 yards.

Flacco gets a juicy matchup this week, as the Vikings allow the third-most passing yards per game. Matthew Stafford threw for 279 yards against them last week, and Jared Goff threw for 280 the week before. In a game where Flacco is likely to be trail, look for him to hit similar numbers.

The total ranges from 234.5 to 237.5, and bet365 offers the lowest total but the best price.

Best odds: -110 via bet365 | Implied probability: 52.38%

Aaron Jones Over 73.5 rushing yards (-108) 

Two weeks ago, Aaron Jones ran for 93 yards against the Detroit Lions’ fifth-ranked run defense. He followed up with a disappointing 58-yard performance -- his lowest of the season -- against the Los Angeles Rams, averaging just 3.1 yards per carry.

Despite last week’s performance, taking Jones’ Over is the right move, as he has at least 90 yards in four of his seven games, and the Colts allow 151.9 rushing yards per contest.

That’s the third-worst mark in the league. With the Vikings expected to lead for much of the contest, he should get plenty of carries.

Thanks to last week’s performance, this total is set at just 73.5 at four of our five best NFL betting sites sportsbooks. Caesars offer the best price, and a winning $10 bet will yield a $9.26 profit.

Best odds: -108 via Caesars | Implied probability: 51.92%

Josh Downs anytime touchdown scorer (+270) 

Josh Downs has three touchdowns this season, two of which from Flacco.

Flacco has thrown seven touchdown passes compared to just four from Richardson, so Flacco’s presence is a massive improvement for Downs.

Additionally, the Vikings are allowing 2.0 passing touchdowns per game this season. Over their last three games, they’re allowing 2.7. Flacco has thrown at least two touchdown passes in all three games, and since he and Downs have proven to be a successful pairing, this is a phenomenal matchup.

The price ranges from +195 to +270 at the four major sportsbooks currently offering the prop. DraftKings is a significant outlier, though, as the second-best price available is +220 at BetMGM.

That price implies that Downs has a 4% greater chance of hitting the prop than what DraftKings suggests, according to our odds calculator. And the +195 being offered by FanDuel suggests a nearly 7% difference.

Best odds: +270 DraftKings | Implied probability: 27.03%
