The Indianapolis Colts and Minnesota Vikings face off on Saturday in a key NFL showdown at U.S. Bank Stadium. The Colts have won the last four games over the Vikings.
The Colts come into this game with a 4-8-1 record and they have gone 5-8 against the spread so far this season. In the last game against the Dallas Cowboys the defense was awful giving up 54 points, and they really had no chance to keep up. Quarterback Matt Ryan completed 21 of his 37 passes for 233 yards, two touchdowns, and three interceptions. Even though he struggled with the turnovers, Jeff Saturday has decided to stick with Ryan to get the start here. Indianapolis is averaging 16.1 points while their defense is giving up 22.9 points per game. The offense is ranked 31st in the NFL, and it’s going to need to be a lot better here. Cornerback Kenny Moore is dealing with a shin injury and it’s unclear if he’s going to be able to go in this game.
On the other side of this matchup is the Vikings who sit with a 10-3 record and they have gone 6-6-1 against the spread. In the last game against the Detroit Lions, the offense was again good, but the defense struggled giving up 34 points. Kirk Cousins completed 31 of his 41 passes for 425 yards, two touchdowns, and zero interceptions. Justin Jefferson caught 11 passes for 223 yards. The Vikings are averaging 24 points while their defense is giving up 24.1 points per game. This is a really good offensive team, but the defense needs to be a lot better, or this will be a disappointing end to the season. Jefferson has caught 99 passes for 1500 yards and six touchdowns. Christian Darrisaw has missed the last two games because of a concussion but he’s expected to be back here, and that’s a big boost to the offense.
