Both the Minnesota Vikings and the Indianapolis Colts disappointed in Week 1 of the NFL. By far the Colts were the bigger disappointment. Indianapolis was a 10 \u00bd online betting favorite to beat the Chicago Bears. Not only did they lose to Chicago but they lost by 16 points. Peyton Manning looked terrible. <\/p>\n
The defense couldn\u2019t stop Kyle Orton, that\u2019 right, Kyle Orton, and the rest of that splendid Bears offense from moving the ball.<\/p>\n
The Vikings weren\u2019t much better. The problem with the Vikings wasn\u2019t their offense, it did about as well as could be expected this past Monday night in Green Bay, but it was their defense. Supposedly, the Vikings have one of better defenses in the NFL.<\/p>\n
It definitely wasn\u2019t on display on Monday night as the Packers threw against them and ran against them. Because the Vikings look to still be one-dimensional, all of the talk about Tarvaris Jackson improving over the off-season appears to be NFL Week Two Gambling – Atlanta Falcons at Tampa Bay Buccaneers just that, talk, Minnesota had to rely on Adrian Peterson to carry the load.<\/p>\n
The problem, like I predicted when describing the Vikings\u2019 true online wagering chances to win the Super Bowl this season, is that teams had an entire off-season to learn how to counterattack Peterson\u2019s brilliance. Jackson has to start passing the ball with regularity or the Vikings are going to have a very long season.<\/p>\n
Here are the BetUS online sportsbook NFL betting odds for this game.<\/strong><\/p>\n Indianapolis Colts\t – 3 – 110\t – 145\t O 43 \u00bd – 110 Here are a few online wagering trends that might help us find a good online bet in this game.<\/p>\n The Indianapolis Colts are 1 and 4 against the spread in their last 5 games on turf. The expectation is that the Indianapolis Colts will bounce back after their terrible loss to the Chicago Bears this past Sunday night. The expectation is that the Minnesota Vikings will forget that they were one of the hottest teams, in online sportsbook betting terms, this past off season and lose their second game in a row.<\/p>\n After all, the Colts are the \u201cveteran\u201d team. Veteran teams don\u2019t usually lose two games in a row.<\/p>\n But, I\u2019m not buying it. To me, it\u2019s the Colts that are going to come out flat – – again – – while the Vikings will come out swinging. I have no doubt that the Colts\u2019 defense will play better, but they will also be facing a much better running back in Adrian Peterson than they did in Matt Forte.<\/p>\n The Colts couldn\u2019t stop the Bears offense. What chance do they really have of stopping the Vikings\u2019 offense? Jackson actually played okay. Not great, but okay.<\/p>\n Free Pick: Good enough for me to believe that the best online bet in this game is on the Vikings at the nice money line online betting odds of + 125.<\/strong><\/p>\n That\u2019s the bet that I will be making. I like the Vikings to upset the Colts at home at the online wagering odds of + 125.<\/p>\n POUND THIS ON SUNDAY!!!!
