Yes. The Minnesota Vikings are entering an unusual season thanks to the COVID-19 virus while still riding the momentum of an underdog playoff victory over the New Orleans Saints seven months ago.
Minnesota lost defensive mainstays that were getting older via birth certificate and by performance indicators. The Vikings also lost wideout Stefon Diggs to a trade with the Buffalo Bills and that was no small thing. Minnesota did, however, immediately select Diggs’ replacement in former LSU wide receiver Justin Jefferson during the first round of this year’s NFL Draft.
Las Vegas sportsbooks have the Vikings hitting on nine wins during the 2020 season.
