When a team makes a coaching change, the expectation is that the lineup will look a little different the following season. For the Vikings, though, the current squad looks an awful lot like the one Mike Zimmer took to an 8-9 record in 2021, which ultimately cost him his job. 37-year-old Kevin O’Connell has been handed the reins, and it will be interesting to see of he can get this team to close the gap in the NFC North. The Packers lost Davante Adams and might take a step back, while the Lions and Bears are still very much in the rebuilding phase. That seems good for Minnesota t first glance, but when you look at their 2022 schedule, you see that it could well be an uphill battle to get over the 8 ½ games win total that the bookies have in place. Let’s take a look at their season and how to bet on their NFL Lines.

Vikings Win Total 2022
We might well get a good idea from what to expect from the Vikings in the opening couple of weeks of the season, as they have a tough start in 2022. They open things up against the Green Bay Packers before facing the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday night. They also have a trip to London to face the Saints in the opening month of the season, so definitely a tough start. There are some winnable games in the mix, but there are also tough outings against the likes of the Indianapolis Colts, the Buffalo Bills, and a few others where the Vikings will very much be the underdog. It’s never easy to guess what a team will do with a new head coach in charge, which is why another 8-9 season might be coming, which would mean the under.
Division and Conference Odds
Last season, the Vikings finished 2nd in the NFC North with an 8-9 record, well off the pace set by the Green Bay Packers, who won 13 games. In the grand scheme of things, this is one of the weaker divisions in the league, with both the Lions and Bears expected to struggle again as they continue to retool and rebuild. What that means is that we are essentially looking at a 2-horse race between the Packers and Vikings, but I still think Minnesota has some work to do to catch their rivals. Probably the best they can hope for is a Wild Card spot. Their odds to win the North are set at +270.
Things are a little different in the NFC Conference as a whole, with no less than 8 teams ahead of the Vikings in the eyes of the bookies. As it stands now, Minnesota is at +1775 to win the conference, which very much puts them in dark horse territory.
Super Bowl Odds
In terms of winning the Super Bowl, the Minnesota Vikings are very much in the longshot category at odds of +4200. As mentioned earlier, there is the possibility that they could sneak into the playoffs as a Wild Card, but even if they do, I’m not so sure they would go very far. It would be a brave person or a big Vikings fan putting any money on this team to win Super Bowl 57.
