Indianapolis Colts at Minnesota Vikings odds and lines: Vikes favored on home field

Assessing the NFL preseason odds and lines for Saturday’s matchup between the Indianapolis Colts and Minnesota Vikings.

The Indianapolis Colts (1-0) travel north to take on the Minnesota Vikings 0-1) Saturday in Week 2 of the NFL preseason. Kickoff is set for 8 p.m. ET at U.S. Bank Stadium. Below, we look at the Colts at Vikings odds and lines, and make our best NFL picks, predictions and bets.

The Colts are slight underdogs after defeating the Carolina Panthers in Week 1 of the preseason, with QB Carson Wentz (foot) still not able to play. RB Jonathan Taylor didn’t see time in Week 1 but “looks so good,” according to head coach Frank Reich. It’s unknown whether we’ll see Taylor in Week 2.

What will be more telling is if Vikings WR Justin Jefferson, RB Dalvin Cook, QB Kirk Cousins or WR Adam Thielen play. It’d be shocking to see Cook play given his injury history, but the other three could see their first action of the preseason Saturday.

The quartet didn’t make an impact in the team’s blowout Week 1 loss to the Denver Broncos. Rookie QB Kellen Mond was just 6-for-16 in his NFL debut.

NFL Wild Card: Indianapolis Colts road underdogs at Buffalo Bills

The Indianapolis Colts are the betting underdogs in their NFL Wild Card game at the Buffalo Bills.

The first of six NFL Wild Card Weekend games pits the Indianapolis Colts (11-5) at the Buffalo Bills (13-3) Saturday in an AFC Wild Card matchup. Kickoff is at 1:05 p.m. ET at Bills Stadium in Orchard Park, N.Y. Below, we take a look at the early Colts-Bills betting odds and lines at BetMGM Sportsbook.

The Colts needed a win in Week 17 and a loss from either the Miami Dolphins, Baltimore Ravens, Tennessee Titans or Cleveland Browns to make the postseason. The Colts picked up a 28-14 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Dolphins lost, so the Colts qualified as the AFC’s No. 7 seed. Rookie RB Jonathan Taylor was the star Sunday, rushing for 253 yards and two touchdowns vs. the Jaguars.

The Bills aided the Colts, defeating the Dolphins 56-26 for their 13th win of the season. QB Josh Allen threw three touchdown passes and the defense intercepted Miami QB Tua Tagovailoa three times.

The Colts were dominated at home as 3-point favorites, falling 45-26 to the AFC South rival Tennessee Titans. Indianapolis was outrushed 229-56 as Tennessee RB Derrick Henry carried the ball 27 times for 178 yards and 3 touchdowns. These teams entered the day tied atop the AFC South at 7-3, but obviously, the Titans’ win puts them in first at the moment.

Houston played its best game of the season on Thanksgiving and beat the brakes off of the Detroit Lions 41-25. QB Deshaun Watson and WR Will Fuller put on a show.

Indianapolis Colts tabbed as home favorites against Green Bay Packers in Week 11

The Indianapolis Colts are listed as betting favorites at home to the Green Bay Packers in Week 11.

The Green Bay Packers (7-2) and Indianapolis Colts (6-3) are slated to meet in a Week 11 Sunday game. Kickoff will be at 4:25 p.m. ET at Lucas Oil Stadium. Below, we take a look at the early Packers-Colts Week 11 betting odds and lines at BetMGM Sportsbook.

The Packers were held to just 80 rushing yards in failing to cover a 13.5-point spread against the Jacksonville Jaguars Sunday; Green Bay won the game 24-20 in come-from-behind fashion. Green Bay was outscored, 10-0, over the first 20 minutes of the second half. A 6-yard touchdown pass — from QB Aaron Rodgers to WR Davante Adams — with 9:03 remaining in the contest vaulted the Packers to their seventh win of the season. Rodgers and Adams connected eight times for 66 yards in the game and Rodgers logged his fourth 300-yard game of the fall with a 325 yards against Jacksonville.

The Colts are coming off a 34-17 win at the Tennessee Titans on Thursday Night Football. The Colts have won two straight games away from home. QB Philip Rivers went 29-for-39 for 308 yards, while a ball-hawking Indy defense held the Titans to just 137 passing yards. The Colts defense heads into Week 11 having held foes under 175 aerial yards in five games.
