On four occasions this season, Aaron Jones has gone past the 71.5 yards threshold, and he’s been 90+ rushing yards in each of those contests. Given that he’s up against a squad that gives up a ton of yardage on the ground, expect Minny to pound the rock a lot, and get him his total.

• Colts vs Vikings Prop Pick: Aaron Jones over 71.5 rushing yards (-115); risk 1 unit at DraftKings

Colts vs Vikings Prop #2: Josh Downs Receptions

One receiver that has shown fantastic chemistry with Colts’ QB Joe Flacco is Josh Downs. In the three games Flacco has competed in this season, Down has caught 24 passes for a total of 217 yards and two TD’s.

Not only have the Vikings struggled against the pass this season, but the Colts are only marginally better (ninth most yards per game). Jefferson will have his looks to record a TD, something he’s done in seven of his last ten overall contests.

As the Indianapolis Colts prepare to take on the Minnesota Vikings in Sunday Night Football during Week 9 of the NFL season, there are a number of player prop bets that fans and bettors should keep an eye on. These bets can add an extra layer of excitement to the game and provide an opportunity to potentially cash in on some big wins.

One player to watch in this matchup is Colts quarterback Philip Rivers. Rivers has been playing well this season, throwing for over 1,900 yards and 10 touchdowns through the first seven games. One prop bet to consider is whether Rivers will throw for over or under 250 yards in this game. Given the Vikings’ struggles on defense this season, it’s possible that Rivers could have a big game through the air.

Another player to keep an eye on is Colts running back Jonathan Taylor. Taylor has shown flashes of brilliance in his rookie season, rushing for over 400 yards and three touchdowns so far. A prop bet to consider is whether Taylor will rush for over or under 75 yards in this game. If the Colts are able to establish the run early, Taylor could have a big game on the ground.

On the Vikings side, one player to watch is wide receiver Adam Thielen. Thielen has been one of the top receivers in the league this season, with over 500 receiving yards and seven touchdowns through seven games. A prop bet to consider is whether Thielen will score a touchdown in this game. Given his chemistry with quarterback Kirk Cousins, Thielen is always a threat to find the end zone.

Overall, there are plenty of player prop bets to consider for the Colts vs Vikings Sunday Night Football matchup in Week 9. Whether you’re a fan looking to add some excitement to the game or a bettor looking to cash in on some big wins, these prop bets offer plenty of opportunities to get in on the action.
