Indianapolis Colts Form
Indianapolis head to Minnesota looking to rebound from back-to-back defeats that have dropped them to 2-4.
The Colts kicked off the season with a 41-23 defeat to Baltimore, and were then beaten 33-30 in overtime when they visited Indianapolis.
They finally got off the mark in Week 3 as they edged Houston at home, 19-17, and they followed that up a week later with a 33-13 success at Washington.
However, Indianapolis failed to make it three-in-a-row as they were beaten 34-22 in Pittsburgh.
That became back-to-back defeats for the Colts last weekend, as they suffered a 26-20 defeat at previously winless Tennessee.
Minnesota Vikings Form
Minnesota return from the bye week as one of just three teams boasting a 100% record after the first six weeks.
The Vikings kicked off the campaign in the best possible fashion as they downed division rivals Green Bay, 39-22.
They backed that up on the road a week later, as they knocked off another NFC North foe, beating Chicago 9-3.
Minnesota’s perfect start continued in Tampa as they beat the Buccaneers 23-16, and they followed that up at home as they saw off Miami 15-10.
The Vikings then made it five-in-a-row before the bye week, as they went out on the road to beat New Orleans 23-13.
Verdict
Minnesota’s unbeaten start has been massively down to a defense that has allowed just 12.8 points per game.
That unit can cause more problems for Daniel Jones and the Colts, ensuring the Vikings cover the spread as they reach 6-0.
