After their most recent loss to the Chicago Bears, the Vikings have reason to be doubtful about their chances of clawing a way into the postseason. NFL oddsmakers too, are starting to wonder if the early Minnesota momentum might just not be enough. According to, as the NFC North grows tougher by the week, the Vikes now have just 150/1 odds of winning the Super Bowl.
This Sunday, however, Adrian Peterson and company will get one more chance to prove that they can hang with the juggernauts that have dominated the division. The Packers may be the sexier bet option, but that means nothing on the NFL moneyline.
While it may be getting late for Minnesota to beat, catch up to and leapfrog the two powerhouses ahead of them in the standings, that doesn’t mean they can’t cause trouble as the underdog.
