Vikings favored in 12 games
Interesting also their net rest is neutral. The Packers, favored in 15 games, have the league's worst net rest, playing two teams coming off byes.
5. The Minnesota Vikings’ win total is 8.5 but they are favored in 12 games this year and have an implied win total of 9.63.

I like analytics just fine. Interesting stuff. But I saw a decent amount of games last year where the win percentage with say 8 minutes left in the 4th quarter for a team that was up by a certain amount of points was like 94% (give or take) and they then lost. Just an example. Percentage on net rest, implied wins, etc. its all a little much for me personally sometimes to buy into. Last year's epic defensive failures by Minnesota really chapped my ass, it got to be so deflating and ridiculous. Complete and utter collapses. Still have that bitter taste from it....
I am still going with 9 wins. Until they prove it on the field, that's where I'm at.
