It shouldn't be much of a surprise that the Vikings are favored over the Colts for multiple reasons. Not only are the Colts led by a 40 yare old quarterback in Joe Flacco, the game is being played at U.S. Bank Stadium.

One element that does how how the game is viewed is that the odds have moved significantly, as the Vikings opened as one-point favorites. The move from Richardson to Flacco, along with the acquisition of left tackle Cam Robinson.


When looking at the Colts, they have covered the spread in five of the last six games with their only loss ATS being by 0.5 points in a loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars on October sixth. The under has also hit in the last three games and five of the last seven.

The Vikings covered the spread six games in a row before their loss to the Los Angeles Rams last Thursday night with the over hitting three of hte last four games. Needless to say, something has got to give .

The game kicks off at 7:20 p.m. CT on Sunday.
