Minnesota Vikings Odds

Minnesota Vikings Odds, Bet Types, and Team History

The 2024 Vikings had one of the best seasons in franchise history. They finished 14-3, recording their most wins in a single season since 1998. Unfortunately, they lost to the Rams in the wild card round and failed to win a playoff game.

QB Sam Darnold had a career year with the Vikings but left in the offseason to sign a three-year deal with the Seahawks. JJ McCarthy takes over as the starting QB. McCarthy enters his second season, but this is his first opportunity at regular-season action after missing the entire 2024 season with a torn meniscus.

Beyond the quarterback position, the Vikings’ offense looks much like last season. Veteran RB Aaron Jones leads the backfield, while All-Pro WR Justin Jefferson serves as McCarthy's top target. WR2 Jordan Addison misses the first three games due to a suspension.

The Vikings need to prove they can replicate their 2024 success and compete with the league’s elite. That will be challenging in an NFC North that features two Super Bowl contenders in the Lions and Packers.

Sportsbooks expect a solid season from the Vikings, setting their win total at 9.5 games. They kick off the season on Monday Night Football against the Bears on September 8.

Betting on the Minnesota Vikings

Minnesota Vikings Point Spreads

Betting point spreads involve wagering on whether a team wins or loses by a specific number of points. For example:

• Vikings -1.5 (-110)
• Bears +1.5 (-110)

In this scenario, the Bears are 1.5-point underdogs against the Vikings. If Minnesota wins by two or more points, a $100 wager on the Vikings pays $90.91. If Chicago wins outright or loses by only one point, a $100 wager on the Bears pays $90.91 plus the original $100, for a total of $190.91.

Minnesota Vikings Over/Unders

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

Suppose the Bears play the Vikings, and the over/under is 43 points. If you bet the over, Chicago and Minnesota must score 44 points or more for you to win. Betting the under means you expect the two teams to score 42 points or fewer. The bet can also push if the game finishes with exactly 43 points.

Minnesota Vikings Moneyline

Moneylines are a betting term that can sound like jargon, but they represent one of the simplest wagers in all of betting. A moneyline bet simply predicts which team wins the game. The margin of victory doesn’t matter: a bet on the Vikings’ moneyline pays out regardless of whether they win by a last-second field goal or a 40-point blowout.

The odds can seem confusing at first. Think of them in $10 increments: if the Vikings’ moneyline is -150—indicating they are the favorites (see the minus sign)—you must wager $15 to win $10. For underdogs, it works the opposite way: a Vikings moneyline of +160 pays $16 for every $10 wagered.

Minnesota Vikings Props

Player props are wagers on a single player, tied to a specific stat in the box score for a game or even the entire season. They rank among the most fun bets, especially if you already play fantasy football and enjoy the player-focused angle. Check out this hypothetical example:

• Justin Jefferson receiving yards: 1,250.5

In this example, a bettor wagers on whether Jefferson records more or less than 1,250.5 yards during the regular season.

Vikings Futures

Futures resemble prop bets because leagues and sportsbooks track both throughout the season, but most futures focus on end-of-season outcomes. Examples of futures include:

• Minnesota Vikings odds to win the NFC North: +320
• Minnesota Vikings odds to win the NFC: +1100
• Minnesota Vikings odds to win the Super Bowl: +2500
• Justin Jefferson's odds to win Offensive Player of the Year: +1600
