All the Colts do is play one-score games. All of their eight games this season have been decided by six or fewer points. 
Expect another one-score affair in this matchup. 

Minnesota's magic is slipping away with two straight losses. 

Sam Darnold could turn into a pumpkin at any time. The Colts have gotten healthy on defense. Having defensive line stud DeForest Buckner makes a huge difference for Indy.

The Vikings will be without their best offensive lineman, injured left tackle Christian Darrisaw. He's out for the season after suffering a knee injury against the Rams last week. The Vikings are so concerned about protecting the immobile Darnold they just traded for overpriced Jaguars' offensive left tackle Cam Robinson, who Jacksonville benched against the Packers last Sunday. 

Inexperienced Anthony Richardson may have struggled on the road inside a dome against the Vikings' aggressive, blitz-happy defense orchestrated by defensive coordinator, Brian Flores. That style of defense, though, shouldn't faze veteran Joe Flacco, who was named the Colts' starter. The veteran Flacco has shown plenty of life during the past couple of seasons. Flacco has passed for 716 yards with a 7-to-1 touchdown-to-interception ratio in parts of three games this season. Flacco had 13 TD passes in five games for the Browns last year. 

The Vikings rank 30th in pass defense. All of the Colts' wideouts are made better with the switch from the erratic and inaccurate Richardson to Flacco. Minnesota has surrendered at least 29 points in three of its last four games.
