Indianapolis has had two weeks to think about its humiliating 54-19 loss at Dallas on Sunday Night Football when the Colts turned it over five times and now they have an opportunity for redemption against the Vikings, who are very fortunate to be 10-3. Minnesota's defense was picked apart by Detroit and Jared Goff as he threw for 330 yards and three touchdowns and the rejuventaed Lions defense held Dalvin Cook to 23 yards on 15 carries. Kirk Cousins did throw for 425 yards, including 223 to Justin Jefferson, but the Vikings were playing catch-up most of the game. The Colts' score against the Cowboys is misleading as Indianapolis has been playing decent defense the past several games and it suffered close losses against Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. Jonathan Taylor has run for 861 yards on 4.5 per carry this season and the Vikings allowed 134 rushing yards against the Lions on 30 carries. Minnesota is 3-7 ATS its past 10 December games and 3-9 ATS overall versus teams with losing records. The Colts are 14-4 UNDER their past 18 games and 30-13 UNDER in December. Also, Indianapolis has gone UNDER eight of 10 road contests. Take the Colts and the UNDER as a Max Play.
