Members of the Pioneer Press who cover the Vikings forecast Sunday’s game against the Indianapolis Colts:

DANE MIZUTANI

Vikings 24, Colts 20: After a couple of losses in a row, the Vikings have a chance in primetime to prove they are still for real. They will do exactly that.

JOHN SHIPLEY

Vikings 30, Colts 22: Once the toast of the Twin Cities, and a large part of the NFL-aware public, the Vikings are in danger of being buried in the NFC North. This team needs a win, and the guess here is they get it.

CHARLEY WALTERS

Vikings 24, Colts 14: Despite the Vikings’ major loss of injured offensive lineman Christian Darrisaw, getting the faltering Colts in Minneapolis at this juncture of the schedule is fortuitous. But it’s still paramount for the Vikings that they win.
