Indianapolis Colts - NFL Betting Analysis
In week 13, the Indianapolis Colts dropped a non-conference matchup against the Cowboys by a score of 54-19.

By the end of the game, the teams combined for 73 points, surpassing the betting line of 44.

Look for the team to put together a strong offensive performance vs a Vikings defense, giving up 24.1 points per game.
