You likely would have expected the to be an underdog this week when the Kansas City Chiefs come to U.S. Bank Stadium. And, to your credit, you would have been right. . .but the number to open things up is a little bit smaller than you likely would have thought.
According to the folks at the DraftKings Sportsbook, the Vikings are an early 5.5-point underdog at home to the Chiefs in Week 5 NFL action.
That the Vikings are underdogs on their home field shouldn’t come as a surprise, as the team got their first win on Sunday after having to scratch and claw to beat the Carolina Panthers.
