NFL Week 15 Same Game Parlays Picks & Predictions: Colts vs. Vikings
Leg 1: Vikings -7.5 (+140)
While the Vikings are coming down to earth a bit after their 8-1 start to the season, they’re still a good team. Kirk Cousins has played well lately, and they have enough weapons on offense to put pressure on their opponents. I’d be very surprised to see the Colts keep pace. Indianapolis has lost three straight and six of their last seven, including a 35-point loss to Dallas last week in which they allowed 54 points. They’ve been playing like one of the worst teams in the NFL.
The Vikings’ offense is consistently productive, and I expect them to give the struggling Colts’ defense trouble on Saturday. Given the Colts’ offensive struggles, I don’t see them keeping pace. I like this alternate line, as I think the Vikings should win by enough that we can get aggressive here.
Leg 2: Michael Pittman Jr. 70+ Yards (+110)
Indianapolis will have to throw the ball to have any hope of keeping pace with the Vikings and Michael Pittman Jr. is likely to be the beneficiary here. Pittman has 76 catches on 107 targets so far this season – he’s on pace for 1,000 yards, and has a high catch rate on his targets.
Against the Vikings’ pass defense, this should be enough to post a good stat line. Minnesota allows 209 yards per game to opposing WRs – the most in the NFL. They also allow 13.8 yards per catch – the second-highest mark in the league. Pittman should get enough volume to break 70 yards, especially if the Colts fall behind early.
