After the Minnesota Vikings’ impressive 23-7 win over the Green Bay Packers on Sunday, confidence in the team is at an all-time high. That is directly reflected in their odds to win Super Bowl LVII.
The good people at FiveThirtyEight have an analytical model that predicts who will win the Super Bowl, and the Vikings not only saw their number double from 3% to 6%, but they now possess the fourth-best odds.

The beginning of the Kevin O’Connell era got off to a rousing start as he became the fifth Vikings coach to win his debut. It is too early to be thinking about the Super Bowl, but it is a good sign that the models are turning in favor of the Vikings.
