  • The Minnesota Vikings opened the year with +8000 odds to win it all.
  • They now are +4000 but outside of the top 12 contending teams.

MINNEAPOLIS – The Minnesota Vikings are turning heads early in the NFL season, but their futures odds are showing a lack of a faith.

At +8000 to start the season, the Vikings Super Bowl odds dropped to +6000 after their Week 1 win and +4700 after Week 2.


Now sitting 3-0 for the first time in almost 10 years, the Vikings odds still sit outside of the top 12 at +4000.

Likewise, the Vikings odds to win the NFC or division are just as long despite the early success.

The QB-WR Connection + Defense

Sam Darnold and Justin Jefferson are a main reason for the early success. Darnold is 11th in passing yards and leads the league in passing touchdowns (8). With a top 5 passer rating, he’s relied heavily on Jefferson.

Recording 10 first downs on the year, Jefferson only has 14 catches, showing just how valuable he is to move the chains. Add in three touchdowns and he’s tied atop the leaderboard for reception TDs early in the year.

But the real bright spot in the Vikings team defense which has let up the second fewest points (30) and created the 3rd most turnovers (6).

Getting no action on the run game when playing the Vikings, they have caused quarterbacks to make mistakes. With the second most interceptions (6), they feature a top 2 rushing defense in basically every category.

  • Rushing Attempts: 60 (2nd)
  • Rushing Yards: 214 (2nd)
  • Yards Per Average: 3.6 (3rd)
  • Rushing TDs: 1 (2nd)
