Indianapolis Colts over Minnesota Vikings: Week 2 in the NFL also known as over reaction week. We get a prime example of this right here. The final score at home was flattering to Minn losing 43-34 to GB. Minn was outgained 522-382 TOP was 41-19 in favor of GB. In other words the defense could not get off the field. Minn only threat on offense as expected was Thielen. Minn 2ndary is weak and so is their pass rush. This brings us to Indi. Indi was shocked on the road losing to Jax 27-20 who are perhaps the worst team in the league. Indi outgained Jax 445-221 but lost the turnover margin 2-0. Rivers was excellent and I expect him to be very good again this week given the lack of pass rush for Minn. Conversely I expect Indi to be able toput pressure on Cousins and we all know what happens when this occurs. Indi also lost stud RB Mack but I expect Taylor and Hines to be able to pickup the slack. The market is already down on Indi losing to Jax that is the time to buy low. I have this game at 4.5 giving us excellent value.
