The Minnesota Vikings have made a statement to the league after the first three games of the season: they are for real and legitimate postseason contenders this season. That statement was highlighted by their blowout victory against the Houston Texans, who had the third best odds to win the Super Bowl prior to their game against the Vikings. The 49ers, whom the Vikings beat handily week two, have the second-best Super Bowl winning odds.
Betting markets have begun to respond to the Vikings’ winning ways, but in some instances may still undervalue the Vikings prospects this season.
