Both teams are looking to bounce back and avoid going 0-2. The Colts will play without their dynamic running back Marlon Mack who will miss the year with injury. How do the Colts replace his production? 

 

On defense, the Colts will have to play better to win this one. Can Xavier Rhodes make his former team pay for cutting him. We will see.

 

Did you know?

The Colts have never lost to the Vikings at home.

 

How to watch/listen to Colts games

 

Good luck! Enjoy the game and your football Sunday. :colts:

Defense has to play much better than last week for us to have a chance. Cousins is better than Minshew and Cook is a good RB. We will have our hands full but I think we find a way to win 30-27. Their defense is struggling as well so I look for Rivers to throw for around 300 yards, question is will he make 1 or 2 bad INT's? I also think this is a prove it moment for Taylor since Mack is out, I do think he will come through with a few nice key runs.

Calling out the defense on this game. Heard all week about them making adjustments and playing tighter off the line to help limit all those free releases. Hopefully the “rhode” is closed today and TY does his thing on the other side and balls out. 
 

go colts!

Thanks again for opening the thread, NFLfan!

First and foremost: praying both teams play injury free today!!

 

I don't think this is too high scoring a game today.  Both defenses will play better.  I'm thinking we'll really get the run game going and the short passing game to click to get us back on track.

Cousins and Cook have success between the 10's but can't win the red zone battle.  Hopefully the better pass rush (praying for it) will help limit Theilen's touches.

21-20 Colts.

...and just like that, my prediction for Thielen goes out the window...

Just put Thielen in my Sunday Million lineup on Fanduel. He's going to tear up the Colts unfortunately. :( 

Same here

 

Debated 

Alie-Cox(think I put him in on a free roll)

 

*also side note Danny Pinter is listed above MAC on the list...both are $4000.

Here's my lineup today:

 

Lamar Jackson

Derrick Henry

Jonathan Taylor

Marquise Brown

Adam Theilen

Michael Gallup

Mark Andrews

Malcolm Brown

Titans Defense

 

I think it should do well, though I expect it to be a bit chalky.

That is a great lineup. I am not playing in my normal league this year. We just didn't do it for the 1st time since 2015. I usually play in a league of 12 and we all get together and do a draft but because of Covid-19 nobody wanted to do it. It is through Yahoo but some of the main guys that do it every year still didn't want to. So it is what it is. I have won it all the last 2 years so I am ok with it. I had Jackson and Henry last season when I won, Luck and Hopkins the year before.

30 minutes away from kickoff. It has been a long week, hopefully we get a win today.

Going to be a tough one.

 

Just have to improve a few things. Hopefully got the preseason rust off last game and continue to build starting here.

 

A loss today isn't the end of the world, but would be close to apocalyptic here on the forum this coming week.

 

Im going to take Colts 27 Vikings 24

 

Taylor with 150+ total yards TD

Defense 4 sacks 2 take aways

Rivers 2tds 1int

 

Like I said W or L its not the end of the season, we have been here/there before with teams with less talent. 10-6, 9-7 will take this division this year, IMO. Long road ahead.

Thanks, but this a daily lineup on Fanduel and not a yearly lineup. I made this with my salary cap for today lol. It's a $4 entry into the Sunday Million. Hoping to hit something big, this is a tournament lineup. :)

A loss would lower our playoff chances to 11% at 0-2 with the old format. Not sure with 7 teams making the playoffs as there is no sample size, but it'd be slightly higher. Even 15-20% chance wouldn't be that great though, so we need the win today to stay out of the "danger zone". 1-1 is much better than 0-2 at the beginning of the season.

Same here have a free roll and (2) $4 entries even created a Vikings heavy team just in case we lose, so maybe they can lighten my mood by winning me a $milly$.

Yeah it seems like 0-2 is almost a death sentence. 1-1 teams make the playoffs around 45% of the time, 0-2 teams I believe it is 12%.

I agree, no doubt about it. 

 

If we do happen to lose, I wont be feeling the season is over though. Have to grind it out

 

Will it make the road tougher? Yes but it's more than obtainable. Especially this year with lime has been said an additional playoff spot, 6-7 loss South Division winner.(imo)

Three teams have started 0-2 and have gone on to win the Superbowl (1993 Dallas Cowboys, 2001 New England Patriots & 2007 New York Giants) and many others have made the playoffs but as mentioned, it makes the road going forward more difficult.

      Colts Select Laiatu Latu Edge UCLA

      By GoColts8818 · Posted

      I doubt any of us here have spent more time studying the health issues of Latu than the Colts have.  If they are comfortable with it that’s good enough for me but that’s just me.

      BREAKING: NFL loses HUGE in Sunday Ticket Lawsuit

      By Yoshinator · Posted

      This makes me so happy. It's Karma for all the lies and deception the NFL has put out since recently. They supposedly care about player safety, so lets add a week to the regular season with plans to add more. All these international games where teams have to travel more and the fans get less home games. All the games now that are going to be on various streaming services off TV where people can't watch them with their family. The blatant terrible refereeing the last few years in order to rig games and expecting people not to notice. The Taylor Swift crap this last year where they sold their soul.   It's all about money. That's all the NFL cares about. We are trash to them. The players are trash to them unless they make the NFL money. I hope the NFL has to pay out $14B. This would be exactly what they deserve for ruining this sport to the point where it's almost unwatchable now.

      This aged like fine wine. After this happened, I bet $1 on the Lakers to win the NBA Finals next year. Get $31 dollars if they do. I'm buying into the conspiracy theory that the league will give it to Lebron and Bronny. Also think the Lakers will make a move or two in FA.

      BREAKING: NFL loses HUGE in Sunday Ticket Lawsuit

      By NewColtsFan · Posted

      When I say lose huge this is what I mean….    The NFL has to pay $4.7 BILLION for breaking anti-trust lawsuit.      BUT WAIT!!   It gets much worse!   Because it’s anti-trust that can turn into triple damages which means $14 Bill+   Now before you shout “Good!  I HATE the NFL!”  And you’re glad they lost, think of the broader implications…   The NFL gets $20 bill in income yearly.  Losing $14 bill is going to badly mess with the entire league.   Remember the 2020 and 21 seasons badly impacted by Covid.  Team salary caps took a big hit.  Rosters got messed up.  This would be even BIGGER.     FWIW:   The NFL says it will appeal.     For more Google: NFL Lawsuit

      Definitely. He said the same things last year that he said this year in defending AD. He just didn't name the player he was talking about. I think QBs were the topic, so it could have applied to Levis or Stroud, but it was obvious he was talking about Stroud.   This year, some agencies advised their clients not to take the S2 test. That's about all I remember about it. I think the cognitive testing process has some image rehab to do, and if they can keep scores and results out of the public sphere, that's a good start for them.
