Indianapolis Colts - NFL Betting Analysis

In week 13, the Indianapolis Colts dropped a non-conference matchup against the Cowboys by a score of 54-19. Indianapolis lost the game by more than anticipated, as the oddsmakers placed Indianapolis as 11.0 point underdogs. By the end of the game, the teams combined for 73 points, surpassing the betting line of 44. The Colts were not able to make a comeback in last week's game, as they trailed Dallas by a score of 21-19 heading into the final quarter. Through 13 games, the Colts have an ATS record of 5-8. So far, they have an over-under record of 4-9. This week's betting total of 48.5 is higher than the line in their previous games.

As the Colts prepare to take on Minnesota, they are ranked 31st in points per game at 16.1. Look for the team to put together a strong offensive performance vs a Vikings defense, giving up 24.1 points per game. Although the Colts come into the game ranked just 19th in pass yards per game, they will benefit from facing a Minnesota secondary that is vulnerable through the air. We expect Indianapolis to have an above-average performance in the passing attack. On the ground, the Colts are averaging 100.2 rush yards per game, which is 26th in the league.

 

Minnesota Vikings - NFL Betting Analysis

Heading into week 15, the Vikings will look to get back in the win column, as they are coming off a 34-23 loss to the Detroit Lions. With the loss, Minnesota also failed to cover the spread, as they were 2.5 underdogs. With their combined 57 points, the two teams exceeded the betting over-under number of 51. The Vikings were not able to make a comeback in last week's game, as they trailed Detroit by a score of 21-13 heading into the final quarter. Through 13 games, the Vikings have an ATS record of 6-6-1. So far, they have an over-under record of 8-5. This week's betting total of 48.5 is right in line with their previous games.

Heading into this week's matchup, the Vikings offense is averaging 24.0 points per game, placing them 10th in the NFL. Look for the team to put together another strong offensive performance, as they are facing a Colts defense that is ranked 19th in points per game. In the passing attack, the Vikings head into the game averaging 246.4 yards per game through the air. This week, they are facing off against a secondary that is ranked 26th in passer rating allowed. In the rushing game, the Vikings are ranked 27th in yards per game at 95.6.

 

Today's NFL Betting Pick - Colts vs. Vikings

The Indianapolis Colts are looking to continue their recent dominance over Minnesota, as they have won 5 straight games vs the Vikings. The two teams have combined to average 42.8 points per game in their last 5 meetings. Indianapolis and Minnesota did not play each other in the 2021-2022 regular season.

The Indianapolis Colts have performed well vs the spread in recent games, going 3-1. On average, the Colts have averaged 26.8 points per game in the past 5 head-to-head matchups, compared to Minnesota at 16.0.

Over their last 3 regular season games, the Colts have gone 0-3 straight up. In these games, they have gone just 1-2 vs the spread while posting an over-under mark of 2-1.

Through their last 3 road games, Indianapolis has an ATS record of just 1-2. However, their overall record was 1-2 while averaging 15.67 points per game.

Through their last 3 games, the Vikings have a record of 2-1. The team has also been excellent vs the spread, going 2-1. Their over-under record in these games was 3-0

In their last 3 home games, Minnesota has averaged 21.0 points per game while allowing 29.33. The team's record in this stretch was 2-1 while going 2-1.

Recommended ATS Betting Pick: Vikings -4.0

Recommended OU Betting Pick: Over 48.5
