On the whole, the Minnesota Vikings have long been known as “next year’s team.” The Vikings are touted each season as an NFL betting odds championship threat. Yet Minnesota always falls short. Until this year, perhaps. Rookie head coach Kevin O’Connell has the Vikings off to an 8-1 start. Minnesota is running away with the NFC North division race. Last week was the ultimate statement-maker. Minnesota rallied for a stunning comeback win at the Buffalo Bills. Now gamblers are believing. But this week brings a potential letdown spot against the Dallas Cowboys.
