We are gearing up for the 66th season of Minnesota Vikings football, ladies and gentlemen, and we are still hoping for that elusive first Super Bowl championship. Is this going to be the year that it finally happens? Well, our friends at the FanDuel Sportsbook aren’t super optimistic about that, as they currently have the Vikings at +4500 to hoist the big, silver trophy at the end of the season and have the over/under for their win total set at 8.5 for the 2026 season.
Frankly, I think they’re going
to go “over” on that win total, but it seems like I say that every year.
In any case, we’re bringing you another look at their schedule, complete with all of the particulars as far as broadcast time, location, and everything else that you need to know about each week’s game. All game times listed will be in Central time, because that’s the only time that really matters.
