Minnesota Vikings Season Winning Favorites, Division & Conference Odds

Written by on August 30, 2016

The Minnesota Vikings are looking to make an extended postseason run in 2016 after recording an impressive 11 wins in 2015 and winning the NFC North division title. The Vikes have a future Hall of Fame running back, a still blossoming quarterback and a lockdown defense. Now, let’s find out how far that will carry Minny this coming season as well as their current betting odds.

Minnesota Vikings Season Winning Favorites, Division & Conference Odds

 
 

2016 Regular Season Win Total Odds

Over/Under 9.5 Wins Analysis: The only sure-fire road losses I see coming are against Carolina and Green Bay and possible one rod loss against either Detroit or Chicago simply because they’re division rivals. I think Minnesota Vikings also loses two games at home against Houston and Arizona, giving them just four regular season losses or five at most. The Vikes easily reach the 10-win plateau to top their O/U total.

NFC North Division Odds

+180 Analysis: The Green Bay Packers are favored to win the NFC North after finishing one game behind Minnesota last season, but I like the Vikings to win consecutive NFC North titles, mostly because they’ve got the far better defense of the two. At a value-packed +180, the Vikings are the pick to bag the NFC North title in 2016.

NFC Championship Odds

+800 Analysis: I like Minnesota a lot, but I can’t pick them to win the NFC title over Seattle, Carolina or Arizona. Still, at a value-packed +800, Minnesota is worth a wager. They’re legitimate because of their defense. If Teddy Bridgewater and the passing attack improve in 2016, then the sky’s the limit!

Super Bowl 51 Odds

+1800 Analysis: At +1800, Minnesota is offering one helluva’ return should they manage to win it all. They’re a bit of a long shot to win it all, but it’s not completely unrealistic to see the Vikes win it all.
