Why Bet the Vikings?

The Vikings are one of the best teams in the current NFL season. The team won 10 of the 13 games played so far and will receive the Colts with the mission to reach their 11th victory and remain at the top of the NFC North Division.

In the last round, the Vikings were surprised by the Lions, away from home, and lost by 34-23. When they last faced the Colts in 2021, the Vikings lost 12-10. In the last 7 games between them, the Colts won 6 and lost only one, showing a strong superiority against the Vikings.

The Vikings are close to qualifying for the Playoffs and this match is of fundamental importance for the team to achieve this goal.

Why Bet the Colts?

The Colts have lost their last three games, but have a good record against their opponents on Sunday. Against the Cowboys, in the last round, the team conceded 54 points and raised an alert regarding the defensive system, since it is not very common to concede more than 50 points in a single match.

The Colts’ last victory away from home was against the Raiders, when they beat the Californian team by 25-20, making a perfect first quarter. Against the Eagles, the Colts also started the game well, winning 7-0 in the first quarter, however, in the decisive quarter, suffered a turnaround and could not resist the offensive power of the Philadelphia team.

Beating the Vikings is possible, but the team would need to play a game with a lot of offensive creativity, in addition to drastically improving the defensive system, and dealing with the opponent’s attacks until the last minute.

Final Betting Analysis: Vikings vs. Colts

Although in better form, the Vikings will not have an easy time against the Colts. It is always difficult to face a team that is looking to recover, as it is constantly changing and trying to adapt to new scenarios.

The Vikings will play at home and should play as favorites, taking the initiative from the start.

Our guess is for the Vikings to win.

If you put $100 into the Vikings’ win, you could get $47 back for a total payout of $147.
