Colts remain 3.5-point favorites over Vikings in Week 2
The Indianapolis Colts (0-1) will remain slight favorites over the Minnesota Vikings (0-1) in Week 2 for their home opener at Lucas Oil Stadium on Sunday.
Despite dropping their season-opening matchup to the Jaguars, the Colts are determined to come out and avoid starting the season 0-2, something they haven’t done since 2017.
BetMGM has the Colts listed as 3.5-point home favorites over the Vikings entering the weekend.
After a poor showing from both defenses in Week 1, the total for this game. It’s tied for the third-highest total on the week at 49.5. This means BetMGM is expecting a lot of scoring and the implied total for the Colts is 28 points.
The Colts may be without tight end Jack Doyle, who has failed to log a practice entering Friday. If he’s able to get on the field for the final practice of the week, there’s at least a chance he can play. But it isn’t looking good.
The Vikings will be without edge rusher Danielle Hunter and will be relying on a familiar face in Yannick Ngakoue, who was traded from Jacksonville just before the start of the season.
It should be a close matchup between both teams who are looking to get a win in Week 2, and the Colts will be slightly favored entering the weekend.
