Indianapolis Colts vs. Minnesota Vikings Week 9 Odds, Time, and Prediction
Our Indianapolis Colts vs. Minnesota Vikings prediction is that the hosts will get back onto the winning track in Week 9. One of the top reasons is that they’ve been incredible at U.S. Bank Stadium this season
After going 5-0 in their first five games, the Minnesota Vikings on to lose the following two games. Will they lose a third one in Week 9 when they welcome the Indianapolis Colts at U.S. Bank Stadium? Based on the 2024 NFL odds, the answer is no.
We completely agree with bookmakers on this, although we do think Sunday’s Colts vs. Vikings game is going to be a real thriller. After all, the boys from Indiana gave war to the Vikings in almost every game since their first meeting in 1997.

The Colts Always Do Well Against the Vikings
The Indianapolis Colts lead the all-time series against the Minnesota Vikings 7-2. In their most recent duel, the Vikings won, but only after overtime.
Even if that wasn’t the case, we’d still think of the Colts as a hard matchup for the Vikings in 2024. The reason is that Shane Steichen’s men have been playing good football since the start of the season.
These guys are 4-4, which may not seem too impressive, but all of their losses happened by no more than a touchdown difference. In fact, we saw them lose by more than three points in only one game in the 2024 NFL.
They’ve been solid around the field, but their offense could do with a little bit of improvement. They’re averaging 21.9 points per game, but that’s because they scored 34 against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 5. Since then, they scored 20 or under in each game.
With Jonathan Taylor as their running back, their ground game has been decent. It’s a whole different story when it comes to passing. The reason behind this is that their second-year quarterback hasn’t been playing great. The man in question is Anthony Richardson, whose passer rating this season is 57.2. His completion percentage is 44.4%, which is the lowest in the 2024 NFL.
He’s passed for 958 yards so far and four touchdowns, along with seven interceptions. Richardson might get dropped in the Colts vs. Vikings game on November 3, but the reason for that isn’t his poor form. It’s the fact that he’s apparently struggling with an injury.
The Vikings Determined to Start Winning Again
The Minnesota Vikings looked incredible in the first five games, but then their winning run came to an end. First, they lost to the Detroit Lions 31:29 at home, with the Lions scoring the winning field goal in garbage time.
Despite the loss, it was a valiant effort by the Vikings, which cannot be said for their Week 8 TNF loss to the Los Angeles Rams. They lost 30:20 at SoFi Stadium in a game that was packed with controversy. In the end, however, the Vikings lost mainly due to their poor pass defense.
Their offense too could’ve done better in that game, especially their receivers. QB Sam Darnold had a pretty good game that evening, but other than him, no Vikings impressed too much.
Indianapolis Colts vs. Minnesota Vikings Prediction
The Vikings are the third-worst team in the 2024 NFL when it comes to passing defense with 263.0 yards allowed per game. Luckily for them, in Week 9, they’re playing against one of the league’s worst passing offenses.
The Colts’ QB – whether it’s Richardson or someone else – shouldn’t be too much of a threat for them. RB Jonathan Taylor, on the other hand, is bound to cause trouble in Minneapolis, which is why we think this is going to be a much closer game than what the odds suggest. While we do think the Vikings will win, we just can’t see them cover the six-point spread.
Pick: Indianapolis Colts +6
