Week 1, Monday Night Football, Vikings at Bears, Bears -1.5
I've got $50 burning a hole in my pocket,  I'll take the points.

Also week 1, Lions at Packers, could be interesting. Go Pack?

I probably won't bet on the Vikings until I see what JJ McCarthy looks like for a few games. But I'm definitely betting on them to win the Super Bowl. OK, sure, I do that almost every year just for the fun of it, but this year I'm going to put quite a bit more on the line.

I take a different approach, I hedge my bet. Emotions vs money. 

When the playoffs start, I bet on the opponent to win the game. If the Vikings lose, I get a bag (money). If the Vikings win, I win the emotional bet, glad to lose the money. If the Vikings win the SuperBowl, meaning I lost up to 4 bets in a row, it'll be worth any amount of money that I lost.

I won a bag last year when the Rams beat the Vikings. I would have gladly lost the bet for the Vikings to win. "Like Larry Wildman going off a cliff in my brand new Maserati."

The Vikings may be not be running out of years, but I am.
