The Indianapolis Colts will look to get things corrected this week after bombing in week one against the Chicago Bears. The Colts will be facing another NFC North foe in the Minnesota Vikings. The Vikings had their own issues in week one and NFL Week 2 betting odds at Sportsbook.com have them as a +2 home underdog this weekend.
Last week quarterback Peyton Manning looked like he had not played since losing to the Chargers in the playoffs, probably because he had not. A knee injury forced him to sit out the pre-season and the Bears took advantage of his rustiness, beating Indianapolis 29-13. More than Manning though, the Bears abused a defense that held teams to just 16 points per game in 2007. Chicago's offense gained 183 yards on the ground and generally had its way with Colt defenders.
The Vikings, no doubt, have taken note of Chicago's performance and will be looking to do some of the same things this week with All-Pro running back Adrian Peterson. Peterson ran for 103 yards against the Packers on Monday night, and the team rushed for 187 yards in the game. However, they failed to slow Green Bay when they needed to and their vaunted pass rush was non-existent. The team did not record a single sack on Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
Key Match-up: The Colts defense will have to hold up to the Minnesota ground attack. Granted, the Vikings rushed for a ton of yardage Monday night and lost, but this Sunday they will be at home and that will make a difference.
NFL Week 2 Betting Odds Trends: The Over is 5-0 the last five years when the Vikings are a home underdog coming off a loss.
