MINNESOTA VIKINGS (7-9)

Strengths: Dalvin Cook is one of the best all-around RBs in the NFL, and Justin Jefferson and Adam Thielen are an ace WR duo for QB Kirk Cousins. The addition of DTs Dalvin Tomlinson and Sheldon Richardson ought to restore the ferocity badly missing in the middle last year. The return of twotime Pro Bowl DE Danielle Hunter from the neck injury that sidelined him in 2020 is a major boost.

Weaknesses: The OL is again a question mark. Darrisaw was drafted 23rd overall to succeed Reiff at the vital LT spot, but his recovery from a groin injury and core muscle surgery has been slow. He does not appear ready for the regular season, giving Rashod Hill the job for now. Uli Odoh, who has appeared in seven career games, is the latest in line at the frequently fluctuating RG spot.

Tipico Sportsbook Says: Win Super Bowl: 40-1. Over/under wins: 8.5.
