Minnesota Vikings Vs. San Francisco 49ers: Tickets, TV, Kickoff

MINNEAPOLIS — The Minnesota Vikings will kick off the 2018 season with a home opener against Jimmy Garoppolo and the San Francisco 49ers Sunday, Sept. 9. Minnesota and their new quarterback in Kirk Cousins are gearing up for what could be a Super Bowl-caliber season.

The Vikings lost last season in the NFC Championship to the Super Bowl-winning Philadelphia Eagles. But with the addition of a new quarterback — who is set to earn $84 million over three years — Vegas oddsmakers have high hopes for the Purple.

According to Vegas Insider, the Vikings have the third-best odds of winning it all. Only the New England Patriots and the Eagles have better odds.
