Opposing squads have rushed for the 9th-most TDs in the NFL (1.08 per game) versus the Minnesota Vikings defense this year.
Favors Under
The Colts are a giant 11.5-point underdog in this week's game, likely leading to an extreme passing game script.
The Indianapolis Colts O-line grades out as the 5th-worst in the NFL this year at opening holes for rushers.
The Minnesota Vikings defensive tackles project as the best collection of DTs in football this year in regard to defending the run.
The Indianapolis Colts have gone no-huddle on a mere 2.7% of their play-calls outside the two-minute warning since the start of last season (5th-least in the NFL). This deadens the pace, resulting in less volume and stat accumulation.
