Colts vs Vikings: Sunday Night Football picks and open thread

Sunday Night Football kicks off tonight at 8:20 p.m. EST as the Minnesota Vikings host the Indianapolis Colts at U.S. Bank Stadium.

The Vikings are 5.5-point favorites, according to FanDuel Sportsbook, and the total is 46.5 points.

This week’s biggest NFL storyline was the Colts choosing to bench 2023 first-round pick Anthony Richardson for 39-year-old journeyman Joe Flacco.

The folks at Stampede Blue had a good old-fashioned rant about it.

If the decision is not based “at all” on him subbing himself out, as some sources are saying, then either the team has completely given up on AR but don’t want to say just yet, which again, would be the dumbest thing to do, or truly believe that benching the young quarterback is the correct way to help his development.
