Vikings could be first home underdog with 8-1 record since 1976

The Vikings aren’t getting enough respect from the sportsbooks

The Minnesota Vikings opened up as a two-point underdog to the Dallas Cowboys this upcoming Sunday, per Tipico Sportsbook, and that line could make history.

According to ESPN Stats and Info, if the Vikings remain an underdog, it would be the first time since 1976 that a home team with an 8-1 record or better would be an underdog that had its starting quarterback.

It feels like the Vikings are getting a little too much disrespect from the sportsbooks, but the Cowboys are a very good football team and will present a very tough challenge for the Vikings.

There is still time for the line to shift in the Vikings’ favor, but it would be asking a lot to see the line shift by more than two points at this point in the week.
