The Vikings could be one of the most overrated teams in the NFL. <\/p>\n<p>On offense, the Vikings may have a worse unit than last year. The quarterback position is still a big question mark between Tarvaris Jackson and Sage Rosenfels and while the running game is in good hands, the offensive line could be an issue. <\/p>\n<p>The Vikings lost high-caliber center Matt Birk in the offseason, which means their offensive line is somewhat suspect now. Beyond that, first-round pick Percy Harvin could be a nice addition but Florida doesn\u2019t exactly have a good track record of producing wideouts.  <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" title=\"2009 Minnesota Vikings Odds | Preview | Picks \" src=\"http:\/\/banners.affcorner.com\/aspx\/affiliateGetImage.aspx?ID_SC=761&amp;ID_I=478\" border=\"0\" alt=\" 2009 Minnesota Vikings Odds | Preview | Picks \" width=\"300\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>On defense, the Vikings again will have a smash mouth unit that will not give up anything on the ground.<br \/>\nWith Pat and Kevin Williams in the middle, and Jared Allen on the end of the line, this is a line that is among the best in the business. Moving a level back, there aren\u2019t too many issues with their linebacking corps, which is very underrated.<br \/>\nOne evident concern on defense is the lack of depth virtually everywhere. While the Vikings do have excellent frontline starters, they won\u2019t be able to handle too many injuries at any level on the defense. <\/p>\n<p>With Brad Childress running the show in Minnesota, the Vikings won\u2019t play to their potential. Against quality defenses that can slow down Adrian Peterson, the Vikings will struggle. Few people believe Rosenfels is the answer and with limited quarterbacking, the Vikings are just the Tennessee Titans.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Super Bowl Odds: +1800<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Conference Odds: +850<\/p>\n<p>NFC North Odds: +160  <\/p>\n<p><strong>2009 Vikings Predictions  <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Place they\u2019ll finish in NFC North: 3rd<\/p>\n<p>Place they\u2019ll finish in NFC Conference: 11th<\/p>\n<p>Over\/Under Season Wins Prediction: Under 9<\/p>\n<h3>JOIN BET PHOENIX SPORTSBOOK TODAY &#8211; GRAB A 35% FREE PLAY BONUS WHEN YOU CLICK HERE NOW AND TELL THEM CAPPERSPICKS.COM SENT YOU!!!<\/h3>\n<pre> (Min.
