Minnesota Vikings Odds

Minnesota Vikings Odds, Bet Types, and Team History

Following two consecutive losing seasons, the Vikings hope to turn things around in 2022. They brought in a new head coach for the task, turning to former Rams offensive coordinator Kevin O’Connell to be their 10th head coach in franchise history after the firing of Mike Zimmer.

Kirk Cousins is back for his fifth season as Minnesota’s quarterback. It will be a reunion of sorts, as Cousins, fresh off signing a one-year extension, gets to work with O’Connell again. They previously worked together in Washington back in 2017.

Cousins will have his usual targets to work with in 2022, notably WRs Justin Jefferson, Adam Thielen and K.J. Osborn. Dalvin Cook and Alexander Mattison will shoulder the load for Minnesota’s ground game.

On the other side of the ball, the Vikings have a new defensive coordinator in Ed Donatell. They’ll hope his new scheme can remedy a defensive unit that has allowed over 400 points in back-to-back seasons.

The Vikings open the 2022 NFL season at home against the Packers.

Betting on the Minnesota Vikings

Minnesota Vikings Point Spreads

Betting point spreads are wagers based on the expectation that a team will win or lose by a certain number of points. Here’s an example:

• Lions +2.5 (+110)
• Vikings -2.5 (-110)

In this situation, the Lions are 2.5 point underdogs against the Vikings. If Minnesota wins the game by three or more points, a $100 wager on the Vikings would come with a payout of $90.91. If Detroit won the game outright or lost by two points or less, the same $100 wager would net $110 plus the original $100 for a total of $210.

Minnesota Vikings Over/Unders

Over/under, also called point total, is a wager placed on the combined scoring of a single game. Bookmakers come up with a number and you can either bet the over or — you guessed it — the under. Here’s how it works:

Let's say the Packers play the Vikings and the over/under is set at 47 points. A wager on the over would require Green Bay and Minnesota to score 48 total points or more to win. Betting the under is an expectation that the two teams would score 46 or fewer points. It's also possible for the bet to push, which would happen if the game finished with exactly 47 points scored.

Minnesota Vikings Moneyline

Moneylines are a betting term that can sound like jargon, but they're really one of the most simple wagers in all of betting. They're simply bets on which team will win the game. The margin of victory is irrelevant with moneyline bets: A bet on the Vikings moneyline would pay out cash regardless of a last second win or a 40-point blowout.

The odds can be weird at first, though. Think of them in terms of $10 increments: If the Vikings moneyline was set at -150 -- indicating they were the favorites (see the minus sign) -- then you'd have to pay $15 for every $10 you want to win. It's the opposite for underdogs: A Vikings moneyline of +160 would pay out a profit of $16 for every $10 wagered.

Minnesota Vikings Props

Player props are wagers on a single player, and they're tied to a single stat found in the box score for a game or even the whole season. These are among the most fun to bet on, especially if you're already playing fantasy football and like the player-specific focus it offers. Check out a hypothetical example below:

• Kirk Cousins 2022 passing yards: 4,450.5

In this example, a bettor will wager on whether or not Cousins will throw for more or less than 4,450.5 yards over the course of the regular season.

• Minnesota Vikings odds to win the NFC North
• Minnesota Vikings odds to win the NFC
• Minnesota Vikings odds to win the Super Bowl
• Dalvin Cook’s odds to win Offensive Player of the Year

If you’re confident that the Vikings will win the NFC North or have a deep playoff run in them, this is the place to be. For a full list of NFL futures, click or tap here.
