| Team Outlook and Scouting Report |
|---|
REGULAR SEASON RECAPTheir 8 wins did not meet expectations. It was -1.3 below what oddsmakers' money line projected. The season went much worse than expected. They went 3-5 on the road and were expected to win 3.7. They won 5 at home and were expected to win 5.6. Below is a recap of all 16 regular games. Anyone who backed the Vikings in all of their games on the money line would be down -122 units. Against the spread, they have lost -70 units risking 110 to win 100 (7-7 ATS). The Vikings are down against the spread on the road, but at home they have turned a profit. They are an average team in points per game. Offensively, they are the #19 ranked team in yards per play. They are the #17 ranked team in offensive TD rate [(PassTD + RushTD) / (Pass Att + Rush Att)]. They are an elite scoring defense, which make sense given their strong yards per play allowed rank.
