Sunday Night Football Anytime Touchdown & Win Parlay Picks: Colts vs. Vikings
(Odds Courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)
As for the Vikings’ offense, they're one of the top-scoring units in the league, averaging 26.9 points per game. Throughout much of the season, they've found success running the football with Aaron Jones. So far this season, he's run for 501 yards on 104 carries and he's averaging 4.8 yards per carry.
With that, I will be focusing on the Vikings’ rushing attack and how their offensive script should feature Jones for most of the night. Especially when you look at how the Colts’ run defense has played this year.
Through eight games, the Colts’ defense is the third-worst team against the run this season. They're allowing 151.9 rushing yards per game and they've allowed seven rushing touchdowns. Over the last four weeks, they've allowed four rushing touchdowns to running backs. Also during that time, they've allowed 110+ rushing yards to running backs in each game.
For Jones, he's totaled 151 rushing yards on 33 carries for one rushing touchdown over the last two weeks. In a favorable matchup with a key role in the offense, betting Aaron Jones to score and the Vikings to win feels like a safe bet.
