The Indianapolis Colts host the Minnesota Vikings as they look to get their season back on track after a stunning Week 1 loss to the Jaguars. To prepare you for that game, here are five Week 2 Colts prop bets you must make, courtesy of BetMGM.
Indianapolis Colts Prop Bets – Week 2
Colts QB Philip Rivers over 0.5 interceptions (-118)
One of the safest bets of the week is for Philip Rivers to throw at least one interception to the Vikings. At this stage of his career, he’s just too reckless and his arm strength has diminished. In Week 1, Rivers threw two interceptions to a young Jaguars defense. Look for the Vikings to grab one from Rivers in Week 2.
Colts WR Parris Campbell over 49.5 receiving yards (-112)
The Vikings have one of the worst secondaries in the NFL and will likely devote a ton of resources to slow down WR T.Y. Hilton. That means second-year WR Parris Campbell could have a massive game in the short game. In Week 1, Campbell caught six passes for 71 yards as he appears to be a perfect fit with Rivers. Look for another big game from the former Ohio State product and for him to exceed 50 receiving yards.

Colts RB Jonathan Taylor over 60.5 rushing yards (-110)
Now that RB Marlon Mack is out for the season due to an injury, second-round rookie RB Jonathan Taylor will likely get the start and plenty of playing time for the Colts. In his first game action, Taylor carried the ball nine times for 22 yards. But look for his workload to double this week as well as his efficiency. As long as Indianapolis can stay in this game, he should have no problem getting to 60.5 rushing yards.
Colts TE Mo Alie-Cox first Indianapolis TD scorer (+1600)
With starting TE Jack Doyle out of this game, Mo Alie-Cox will get the start for the Colts. Cox is a massive target at 6’5, 267 pounds and has shown some chops as a receiver. In Week 1, he caught two passes for 20 yards in a limited role, but he very well could see a ton of action in the red zone this week. At +1600, Alie-Cox is a strong long-shot bet to be the first Colts’ player to get into the end zone this week.

Colts WR Parris Campbell two or more touchdowns scored (+2200)
For all the reasons mentioned above, Campbell could be in for a big game this week. The Vikings will be without one of their starting cornerbacks in Cameron Dantzler and will be undermanned in the secondary. While Campbell has scored just one career touchdown, Week 2 feels like a potential breakout game for him. At +2200, this is a fun bet on Campbell as he could see double-digit targets.
