Colts vs. Vikings Betting Preview: Picks and Predictions

The Titans knocked off the Colts, their GM got fired, and so naturally in sports, in the NFL, in college football, guys get fired. This is an absolute buy spot when that happens in the NFL. Now, the Colts are getting six and a half today, and so it is the only side I could take today would be Indianapolis. Now, the only issue that I would have doing it is that Minnesota's coming off a bye, and so that's not the best spot to do that when this happens. but I certainly would not lay any amount of points with Minnesota from here till the end of the season. I know their defense is great. Their offense is not. And I do expect the human factor to come into play here, Joe, where whatever somebody tells you that your boss is fired, it was your fault. Usually the opposite happens. I mean, the ATS records are incredible in this stuff in college football and in the NFL, but I just can't do it only because the Vikings have had a couple of weeks to prepare for the Colts but I do expect the Colts to show up in this one and I don't expect them to get blown out like 31 nothing or something like that so I do think a competitive game is in store but I'm going to stay away from this one I like the dead coach bounce just as much as anybody and when they fire a head coach I tend to be with you very much like oh this is whenever we're kind of rallies and circles the wagons as Chris Berman would always like to say this is the firing of a GM I don't know about that one I mean that's not necessarily the thing that goes on the locker room where everybody talks about oh you know they fired the gm like the colts defense is objectively just bad we saw it in week one we've seen it ever since the offense is missing Alec Pierce they're missing Tyler Warren they're also going up against and let me say this again this is an unprecedented rush rate 77.8 blitz rate is what they're giving you and for Daniel Jones who right now is limited in terms of the weapons he's got it's a very difficult situation for this team i i understand why folks are you know potentially concerned with such a big number here with Indianapolis i think that the Minnesota Vikings can handle this six and a half i like Jordan Mason over on his 49 and a half rushing yards he returns i like Justin Jefferson the score touchdown plus 165 in this contest i just think the Colts defense is so bad and the defense of the Vikings is so ferocious they're just gonna maybe have a score on defense and that's gonna be the difference with this six and a half it's uh it's been a season where no one is covering six six and a half it's been the highest percentage of dogs that these numbers covering in the National Football League we've seen in a really long time so it's my lean again today but we'll see maybe the Vikings end the Colts season today
