Dec 31, 2019 To win Super Bowl 54: +3300. The Vikings have the worst odds to come out of the NFC and make the Super Bowl. This isn’t all that surprising considering how stacked the conference is. The two teams closest to them in odds are the Philadelphia Eagles and Seattle Seahawks, two teams that have won it all recently.
It was a rollercoaster of a season for the Minnesota Vikings in 2020. At one point, the Vikings were looking like a bottom-three team in the league at 1-5. At another point, they were the seventh seed in the NFC Playoff. When the book closed on the 2020 season, the Vikings were out of the playoff and moving into cleanup duty. Offensively, there’s a lot to be excited about; rookie star Justin Jefferson broke records and turned heads. Dalvin Cook had another superstar season and finished behind just Derrick Henry in rushing yards and Kirk Cousins finally came around.
The liability for Minnesota was their defense, which was gashed time and time again. The unit gave up the fourth-most points per game and 10.3 more points per game than their 2019 team (sixth best– the biggest drop in the NFL). It wasn’t the season Vikings fans had hoped for and offseason changes are coming to their roster. Even Zimmer himself was quoted as saying his defense is “one of the worst [he’s] ever had.” With the top-four highest-paid free agents from Minnesota coming from the defensive side of the ball, the 2021 Vikings will have a much different look.

Vikings prop bets
Prop bets are based on individual performance, typically surrounding players. Dalvin Cook was one of the best running backs in the NFL in 2020, making him a bettor’s favorite with prop bets. For example, Cook’s projected rushing total in the Vikings’ Week 11 matchup with the Dallas Cowboys was 96.5 yards. Those who thought he would rush for 97 or more yards would be the over while those who thought he would rush for 96 or fewer yards would take the under. Cook picked up 115 yards that game, giving those who bet over his rushing total the win.

Vikings futures odds
Futures are long-term bets that can range from an offseason to a full season (or beyond). Team win totals, award winners, and player performance are common futures. For example:
2020 Odds to win NFL OROY
- Joe Burrow +220
- Tua Tagovailoa +290
- Clyde Edwards-Helarie +500
- Justin Herbert +1200
This line for the Offensive Rookie of the Year would often be bet before the season starts. Futures allow for bettors to capitalize on players they think are favorites to win awards long before the odds shift away from their favor. For example, Herbert opened with odds of +1200 to win the OROY award after the NFL Draft; his odds shifted and he eventually won the award in December.
Vikings Super Bowl LVI odds
The Minnesota Vikings opened with +4000 odds to win Super Bowl LVI. Those odds are relatively middle-of-the-road and are comparable to teams like the Panthers, Steelers, and Cardinals.
Vikings NFC North odds
The Packers clinched the NFC North and the Vikings were eliminated from the division race in 2020.

How to bet on the Minnesota Vikings
Moneyline
The moneyline is the simplest of bets, decided by the straight-up winner and loser of each game. Consider the following example:
- Vikings -125
- Eagles +180
The Vikings are considered favorites in this matchup (indicated by -125), requiring a $125 bet to win $100 (plus the initial bet back). The Eagles are the underdog in this matchup, paying out $280 total for a $100 bet ($180 in winnings). How much either team wins or loses by does not matter in moneyline betting, the payout remains the same.
Point spread
Betting on the point spread is determinant on how many points a team wins or loses by. Take the following example:
- Vikings -1.5 (-110)
- Cardinals +1.5 (-110)
In this example, Minnesota is favored by 1.5 points, indicated by “-1.5.” If the Vikings win the game 31-28, the Vikings (-1.5) win the bet and would have a total payout of $19.09 on a $10 bet ($9.09 in profit). If the Cardinals keep the game within two or win outright– say they win 37-34– the Cardinals (+1.5) would win, and the payout would be the same as listed above.
Point total (over/under)
The point total refers to the over/under line set by books. This number projects the total number of points scored in a game and, like prop betting, is bet whether one thinks the score will go over or under the set point total. For example, the Vikings’ Week 5 matchup with the Seattle Seahawks had a projected point total of 54.5 points. Minnesota lost the game 27-26, resulting in 53 total points. Those that bet under the point total would have cashed out that week.
Minnesota’s defense was a liability for most of the season, showing that they were susceptible to being lit up from Week 1. However, outside of a couple games, the Vikings were also capable of piling up points thanks to a trio of weapons in Dalvin Cook, Justin Jefferson, and Adam Theilen. The combination of a lethal offense and vulnerable defense led to Minnesota often seeing higher than league average point totals, often between 48 and 54 points.
In-play and live betting
Sometimes, the most thrilling and rewarding bets are bets made while games are being played. These are referred to as live bets or in-play bets. Odds are ever-changing during games, which would prove to be fruitful for sharp and prepared bettors. For example, if the Vikings (-130) were favored against the Broncos (+175) before kickoff, a payout on a $10 bet on the Vikings to win would win $7.69.
However, say the Vikings fell to a big 24-3 deficit in the first half despite controlling the overall game (due to costly turnovers or special teams gaffes). Odds may swing in favor of the Broncos, who may be a -110 favorite at halftime. Taking the Vikings to come back and win the game could present plus-odds (say, +130). Should a bettor take Minnesota (+130) at halftime and the Vikings pull off the comeback, winners would win $13 instead of $7.69 (plus the initial $10 bet).
This could also be an effective way to “hedge” your bet; say a bettor took the Broncos (+175) in that game, but Minnesota jumps out to a 14-0 first quarter lead and is controlling the overall feel of the game, bettors could hedge by throwing some money down on Minnesota (-210) to return some of the inevitably-lost bet.
Parlays and teasers
You can always string bets together in the form of parlays or teasers. Usually during busy Sundays, bettors can parlay several teams to win or cover against the spread and if all bets are successful, the payouts are multiplied. Teasers function similarly, except they allow bettors to move each point spread to a more favorable line in exchange for diminished odds.
Vikings 2020 recap
Record: 7-9
Record ATS: 6-10
Over/under record: 11-5
There may not have been a bigger disappointment in the NFC than the Minnesota Vikings; the once-thought contenders fell to 1-5 right out of the gate. Though they managed to finish 7-9 and just a game outside of the NFC Playoffs, Minnesota’s 2020 season felt more like their 6-10 record against the spread. They dropped games to Atlanta and Dallas, and were blown out by the Packers and Saints.
Whether they won or lost, at least the 2020 Vikings were exciting. Their 11-5 mark against the point total was one of the best in the league, with the Vikings routinely getting into shootouts with their opponents. Games like the now-infamous Christmas Day outing against the Saints were Alvin Kamara scored six touchdowns were at the very least watchable. However, the season is over and Vikings fans are ready to move on.
Vikings 2021 offseason moves
Key free agents: Anthony Harris (S), Eric Wilson (LB), Dakota Dozier (LG), Jaleel Johnson (DL), Ifeadi Odenigbo (EDGE)
Draft pick position needs: OL, DL, S
The majority of Minnesota’s free agents to be this offseason come on the defensive side of the football. In response to coach Mike Zimmer’s comments on the unit, it’s safe to assume retaining players like 29-year-old Anthony Harris (due $11.5 million) might not be at the top of the priority list. Guard Dakota Dozier didn’t have the best season (allowed six sacks), but he played every snap of the 2020 season; in his case, availability is his best ability.
At the 12th pick of the upcoming draft, the Vikings have been oft-associated with one player in particular: Michigan edge rusher Kwitty Paye. With offensive line-hungry teams like San Francisco and the Los Angeles Chargers sit just ahead of Minnesota, taking potential targets like Texas offensive lineman Sam Cosmi and Virginia Tech’s Christian Darrisaw off the board. If they are, Paye is an excellent fit for the Vikings defense and gives them a nasty pass rusher that they lacked in 2020.
Yes, the dust and confetti has just settled on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ Super Bowl 55 victory, yet another incredible feat for Tom Brady.
But of course, we have to start looking ahead to the 2021 season. And it’ll amuse you to find out that the Bucs are not, in fact, the betting favorites to repeat as champions next year.
Seriously! According to the opening odds, the favorites are Sunday’s losing team, the Kansas City Chiefs. Heck, the Bucs aren’t even No. 2 (we’ll get to that in a moment).
So here are the odds on the Super Bowl 56 winner.
(All bets courtesy of BetMGM)
Kansas City Chiefs (+600)
Aside from his Super Bowl 55 loss, Patrick Mahomes is still the league’s premiere talent. It makes sense they’re the favorites.
Green Bay Packers (+900)
Aaron Rodgers, MVP. That’s it!
Tampa Bay Buccaneers (+1000)
They have a long list of free agents, so perhaps that’s why they’re not favorites.
Baltimore Ravens (+1200)
An intriguing pick with that defense and Lamar Jackson under center again.
Buffalo Bills (+1200)
Josh Allen and Co. proved last season that they were contenders. Can they carry that over to 2021?
Los Angeles Rams (+1200)
Hmm. On one hand, Aaron Donald and that defense. On the other … are we really betting on Matthew Stafford to deliver a title?
San Francisco 49ers (+1600)
Surprised? Me too. I think this assumes the Niners find a QB that gets them back on track to contend.
New Orleans Saints (+1800)
Seems kind of low … but does that mean the odds reflect a team that could be without Drew Brees?
Seattle Seahawks (+2200)
Seems about right.
Cleveland Browns (+2500)
Christopher Hanewinckel-USA TODAY Sports
Are you buying what the Browns are selling after last season?
Dallas Cowboys (+2500)
There’s potential value here … if they can fix their defense and Dak Prescott re-signs.
Indianapolis Colts (+2500)
Another value pick, bu they need to figure out what to do at QB after Philip Rivers retired.
Miami Dolphins (+2500)
Ooooooo. They were pretty good last season and now enter a very interesting offseason with a ton of draft capital and some cap room.
Tennessee Titans (+2500)
Vegas Odds Of Minnesota Vikings Winning Super Bowl
Too low for the back-to-back playoff contenders?
Los Angeles Chargers (+3000)
Justin Herbert looked GOOD in his rookie year!
New England Patriots (+3000)
Pittsburgh Steelers (+3000)
It all kind of depends on what happens with Ben Roethlisberger this offseason, doesn’t it?
Arizona Cardinals (+4000)
Seems right for a young team still developing, although Kyler Murray took a big step forward in 2020.
Minnesota Vikings (+4000)
Lots of question marks about this team, but there’s a good base there.
Carolina Panthers (+5000)
We’ve reached the longshots, and the Panthers definitely deserve to be here.
Chicago Bears (+5000)
If they get a new QB, maybe these odds move up.
Las Vegas Raiders (+5000)
There was some good and bad in Vegas last season. These odds reflect that.
Philadelphia Eagles (+5000)
Is Carson Wentz getting traded? Is Jalen Hurts the starter?
Atlanta Falcons (+6600)

They might be headed for a rebuild sometime soon.
Denver Broncos (+6600)
John Elway could be looking for a new quarterback. Again.
Minnesota Twins
New York Giants (+6600)
Hey, they almost won a NFC East title! (I know, that’s not saying much, but still.)
Washington Football Team (+6600)
A pretty successful season given what the expectations were, but they’re not contending in 2021.
Cincinnati Bengals (+8000)
A lot to like for Cincy, especially after the upcoming draft. But this number will go up in a few years.
Detroit Lions (+8000)
Jared Goff! Dan Campbell! Lots of changes in Detroit.
Houston Texans (+8000)
Yep.
New York Jets (+8000)
Even if they restart at quarterback, the rebuild is far from over.
Jacksonville Jaguars (+10000)
Even if they draft Trevor Lawrence, there’s work to be done.
