Colts Searching For QB Answers
The Indianapolis Colts suffered a second loss to the Houston Texans for the season in Week 8, falling in a 23-20 decision at NRG Stadium. But the Colts had several opportunities to win that game, falling short thanks to the inconsistent play of quarterback Anthony Richardson. Richardson threw a costly interception at the end of the first half and the Colts need him to be better if they want to avoid dropping below the .500 mark for the year.
Vikings Look to End Losing Streak
The Minnesota Vikings enter this week’s NFL action having lost two games in a row after a 5-0 start to the year. While their complaints about the officiating at the end of their most recent loss to the LA Rams were valid, their play throughout that game was not good enough to win, as their defense was simply not good enough to stop the Rams consistently. If Minnesota wants to win this week, they are going to need to do a better job against Anthony Richardson and the rest of the rushing options for the Colts.
Colts vs Vikings Best Bet
This Colts vs Vikings matchup represents a great bounce-back opportunity for Minnesota after a couple of losses in a row. Back at home against a team that cannot generate consistent passing offense, look for Minnesota to come away with a convincing victory on Sunday night. We will gladly lay the points with the Vikings here.
