I only traded VIX options once and it was a small bull put spread this past summer....it was my first BPS, actually, and yes, it was profitable. However, since there are others here who have written how goofy the VIX options are to trade, I suggest reading those informative spreads before jumping on in. There are a bunch of websites and blogs dedicated to VIX trading as well that you might want to Google for.
Now, this close to expiration, frankly I'd prefer doing a credit spread that says "as long as ABC is above XYZ and expires worthless I profit" than try and pick what ABC will be at expiration. At least that way if you're wrong and ABC goes against you, you might still be able to make some money depending on where it settles.
