The Vikings are expected to play the 16th easiest schedule this season.

Additionally, only three of Minnesota’s 14 opponents have an average predicted win total above 10. Bettors expect five Vikings opponents to finish below the old benchmark of .500, eight league wins.
The predicted win totals say a lot – after all, they’re on par with everyone else in betting in that they’re a bet – but they give some insight into what experts expect.
The lines may change by Sunday, but the Minnesota SOS consensus will not change.
The Vikings are well positioned to emerge from the NFC North and later achieve their championship dreams.
