Indianapolis Colts vs. Minnesota Vikings Match Details

Fixture: Indianapolis Colts @ Minnesota Vikings

Date & Time: Saturday, December 17, 1:00 p.m. EDT

Venue: U.S. Bank Stadium, Minneapolis, Minnesota

NFL Parlay leg #1: Under 51.5 Total Points

The Colts enter Saturday's contest as the second-lowest scoring team in the NFL. Even though the Vikings' defense isn't the best around, the Colts have struggled to get the ball into the end zone so much this year that Minnesota shouldn't have to worry. Nine of the Colts' 13 games this year have gone under, including five of seven on the road. Even though Indianapolis has some weapons offensively, the O-Line for the visitors has been abysmal. On Minnesota's side, they have even better weapons, but with their sights set on clinching the division, look for their defense to be on their 'A' game. Also, since six of the Colts' last seven games facing teams with winning records have gone under, look for Indy to have another low-scoring output, enough to bring the game under 52 points.

NFL Parlay Leg #2: Michael Pittman Jr. Over 5.5 Receptions

Michael Pittman Jr. has been very solid for the Colts this year, and today, he'll take on the worst passing defense in the NFL. Pittman Jr. was shut down by an elite Dallas defense previously, but prior to that, he had recorded three consecutive games with six or more receptions. On the year, he averages 6.3 on 8.9 targets, and he's shown that he's bounced back after the few poor performances he's had this year.

NFL Parlay Leg #3: Alec Pierce Longest Reception Over 18.5 Yards

Alec Pierce is Indianpolis' second-leading receiver behind Pittman Jr., and he leads the team in yards per reception at 15.9. While he only averages 2.7 receptions per game, usually, he's a deep threat and goes for big plays. In games where Pierce has at least one catch, he's recorded a reception that went for over 18 yards in seven of those nine games, so look for him to have at least one big play today against a weak Vikings pass defense.
