1. Colts Bounce Back with Win
No team ever wants to fall to 0-2 to begin the season. For the Colts and Vikings, one of them will have to do that if they fail to get a win in this head-to-head matchup in Week 2.
What the Packers’ offense displayed in Week 1 was the vulnerabilities the Vikings have on defense. It was a real struggle for Minnesota to get much of anything done in pass coverage situations, enabling Aaron Rodgers to turn back the clock in a major way.
Meanwhile, the Colts will be motivated to clean things up offensively after an underachieving outing against the Jaguars in Week 1. Indianapolis will have the matchups in order to achieve that and it will have a real influence on the final score.
The Colts will come out with a win against the Vikings in Week 2 in order to avoid an 0-2 start to the season. Getting the job done against Minnesota will be important for Indianapolis to better compete in the AFC South standings and avoid digging themselves in an early hole.
