Vikings' Super Bowl odds shift in the middle of crazy game against Colts
After 15 wild weeks of football, there has been a good shakeup in the Super Bowl odds . But there may not be a team whose odds shifted more over the course of Week 15 than the Minnesota Vikings.
Kevin O'Connell's team was listed as 25-1 long shots at Bet MGM following a tough 34-23 loss to the surging Detroit Lions in Week 14. Then, Minnesota took part in Week 15's wild battle against the Indianapolis Colts where they entered halftime down 33-0 -- and boy, did that score instantly impact their Super Bowl odds.
Of course, the Vikings then mounted the biggest comeback in NFL history and defeated Matt Ryan and the Colts 39-36 in overtime. The victory cemented the Vikings atop the NFC North and, of course, gave their Super Bowl odds a quick boost back to 22-1.
Minnesota started the season off listed at 40-1 at Bet MGM, but their surprising success has certainly made them a more appealing team to put some money on -- even after a crazy game like the one they played on Saturday.
The Buffalo Bills remain the favorite to win it all at 3.75-1 at Bet MGM, with the Philadelphia Eagles nipping at their heels at 4-1 odds. The Kansas City Chiefs (5-1), San Francisco 49ers (7-1), and Cincinnati Bengals (7.5-1) round out the list of teams with the shortest odds to win this season's Super Bowl.
