Minnesota Vikings Super Bowl Odds: Why Betting Public Likes Them Better Than #1-Seeded Eagles

Minnesota Vikings Super Bowl Odds: Why Betting Public Likes Them Better Than #1-Seeded Eagles

The Minnesota Vikings can finish no higher than the second seed in the NFC and would have to travel through the Philadelphia Eagles should both squads win their Divisional matchups.

So why are the Minnesota Vikings Super Bowl odds 5/1 while the Eagles are a longer shot at 8/1?

The biggest reason the betting public likes the Vikings is due to the season-ending injury to Eagles' starting QB Carson Wentz. It's an interesting turn of events, especially since Philly is one of the few fortunate teams in the NFL to have an experienced backup quarterback in Nick Foles.

It's almost as if the betting public has amnesia and has forgotten that Minnesota is riding the coattails of a backup signal-caller as well.

After starter Sam Bradford went down earlier in the year with a knee injury, backup Case Keenum has been downright masterful. The University of Houston record-setting QB has thrown for 3,358 yards, 21 touchdowns, and just 7 interceptions. His QB rating of 98.1 is far and away the best of his career, as is the 7.43-average-yards-per completion in his 14 appearances.

Super Bowl Odds Entering Week 17

The emergence of Keenum, combined with the unfortunate injury to Wentz, is the most likely reason the betting public favors them in the future. And the fact that Super Bowl LII is taking place in Minneapolis doesn't hurt as well despite the fact that no NFL team has ever played in the big game in its own stadium.

Whom else does the betting public like? Have a look below.
