Lol...

Let me see if they can win 2 in a row first...

They'll grab my attention more if they pull off a win vs a re-bounding Ravens team.

Savvy media members trying to get in "early" just in case we beat the Ravens this week. Just in listening to the radio and in reading things online, I don't get the sense that a ton of media members actually watched our game against Detroit. Most are writing the game off as a Lions dud but had they watched as most here did, that isn't how it went at all. Detroit played okay but the Vikings played awesome. Can we do it again I don't know, but if we do then yes: The hype train will be in full motion nationwide, not just on this message board.

There are some early adopters out there right now....and the NFL is including him in a ton of social media marketing. He wins some more games in epic fashions and he's going to be splashed around everywhere. High profile QBs are gold to the NFL, its their most effective hype machine, especially demonstrative ones. They are right at the precipice of releasing the hounds.

Well, how much do you believe?

Early in the year, the Vikings were at +2800 to win the Super Bowl. After an “ostensibly” successful free agent class and some hype in the media, the Vikings odds went to +2500 (+2200 on some sites).  A $1K bet would return $26K.

Fast forward 9 weeks, the Vikings are now at +15000 on Draft Kings. To reach that previous $26K return under the new odds, the stake required went from $1K to $175, and a $1K bet went from a $26K return to $151K.

I hadn't planned on going to the casino this weekend. Hmm
