You can find Minnesota Vikings futures heading into the new season with some updated throughout, but the best payout odds can always be found early to bet on.
Recent Years Betting Results
Minnesota closed the season out two years ago with the best record Against The Spread and, despite their woes last year, still managed to finish the season two games above the .500 mark ATS.
2017 Early Observations
There has been a dramatic improvement in the Vikings offensive line.
ESPN.com noted:
Massively in need of an upgrade at tackle, general manager Rick Spielman paid a premium to find veterans at both spots. On the left side, he imported Lions tackle Riley Reiff, who spent four years on the left side amid regular speculation that Detroit didn't particularly value him there before moving him to the right side after drafting Taylor Decker in 2016. The Vikings are paying Reiff $36 million over the first three years of his deal, so Reiff will need to stick on the left side and play well to justify his contract.
OVER 8.5 regular season games was priced at just +105 and has some good value. An early analysis, we are actually leaning towards a small future play on the Vikings to win the NFC North paying $300 for every $100 bet. Granted, Green Bay should still be the team to beat in this division but at a much steeper price (risk).
