Colts vs. Vikings Betting Odds Frenzy Kicks Off Weekend

Indianapolis Colts
Sep 13 2008 - 1:28am

Gamblers were loving the Indianapolis Colts to beat the Minnesota Vikings Sunday. In fact, 95 percent of gamblers wanted the Colts on the spread while the betting action on the money line was at a 90 percent clip. The bookies obviously needed Minnesota to cover here.

The opinion that the Vikings could cover a +2 spread was quite strong. Any line moves taking place were encouraging action on the Colts.

The odds ranged from a pick to -2 depending on where you were shopping for this line.

BetOnline.com came in at Indianapolis -1 ½.

At first glance, this line has "sucker bet" written all over it. The public was betting on the Colts in droves.

The interesting thing here is that Gambling911.com has this line at Indianapolis -2 so we really don't know what the odds makers thought process is here. It's a tough game to call despite what seems like an obvious opinion on Minnesota winning.

We would like to point out a disturbing trend with regard to Indianapolis however. This is a team that has lost 7 of its last 8 when we factor in pre-season games, last Sunday night's embarrassing loss to the Chicago Bears and last season's playoff game against San Diego. Granted, Minnesota hasn't fared much better, losing 6 of their last 7 games.

The OVER was 43 ½ in this game and people were betting it at an 80 percent clip.

  • 2010 NCAA Basketball Tournament Betting
    Earlier in the day we witnessed the heavily backed Notre Dame Fighting Irish fall to Old Dominion while Vanderbilt lost to Murray State. This was just the beginning of a series of 2010 NCAA Basketball Tournament upsets with betting trends going right out the window. We dare say that plenty of brackets were bust as well early on.
  • Murray State Odds
    Amazingly if number 13-seed Murray State were to somehow win the 2010 NCAA Championship, they would pay a whopping $35000 for every $100 bet at SBG Global. Having just knocked off number 4-seed Vanderbilt Thursday, they are one step closer to realizing such an amazing feat. Still, they do have a long way to go.
  • Notre Dame Upset
    The most bet on team of the 2010 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament, #6 seeded Notre Dame, was upset Thursday by #11 seeded Old Dominion. Notre Dame had been getting over 85 percent of the betting action in this one at game time as the -3 favorite at betED.com.

  • The Orlando Magic are feeling pretty good about Vince Carter's steady performance in recent weeks. If they can get Rashard Lewis playing at that same level, they'll be ecstatic. Lewis looks to build on his best game of an otherwise awful month Thursday when the Magic - seeking their 10th victory in 11 games - visit the Miami Heat.
