We are a mere 374 days away from Super Bowl 61 in Los Angeles, so what better time than now to take a look at the odds that the Minnesota Vikings will be representing the NFC at SoFi Stadium when that game is contested next February?
According to our friends at the FanDuel Sportsbook, the Vikings are currently sitting at +5500 to win next year’s Super Bowl. If that seems like that would make them a bit of a longshot, well. . .that’s because it does.
As of now, there are only four NFC teams that have longer odds than the Vikings to hoist the big silver trophy next season. Those teams are the New York Giants (+7500), the Carolina Panthers (+15000), the New Orleans Saints (+17500), and the Arizona Cardinals (+20000). The Vikings will face off with both the Panthers and the Saints next season, as the NFC North matches up with the NFC South as part of the 2026 schedule.
The oddsmakers at FanDuel are looking a lot more favorably on the rest of the NFC North than they are the Vikings, which might play a bit of a role in explaining the Vikings’ long odds. They currently have the Green Bay Packers listed as having the third-best odds in the NFC of winning the Super Bowl at +1300, with the Detroit Lions not far behind them at +1600. The Chicago Bears, who won the NFC North this season, are more towards the middle of the pack at +2700, which seems a bit strange.
Yes, it’s a little too early to put a whole lot of stock in these sorts of things, but it does give us something to look at as far as the way the rest of the league sees the Vikings and their chances for 2026.
