Vegas gives their input on which quarterback will be in purple next season

The latest odds from Bovada have the Minnesota Vikings as the favorite to land quarterback Kirk Cousins this offseason.

Less than a month ago, the New York Jets were the team with the best odds to sign free-agent quarterback Kirk Cousins this year according to Bovada.

As of Wednesday, Bovada’s odds for the Cousins Sweepstakes now have a new leader. It is none other than the Minnesota Vikings.

According to the Las Vegas-based gambling website, the Vikings have the best chance to sign Cousins this offseason with 2-to-5 odds. The Jets are now second with 333-to-100 odds, the Denver Broncos and their 4-to-1 odds are third, and the Arizona Cardinals are the fourth and final team listed with odds of 15-to-1.

Minnesota Vikings

To put this in terms that would help those who are unfamiliar with the gambling world and what these odds actually mean, Bovada currently has Minnesota with a 71.43 percent chance to land the free-agent quarterback this year. Cousins coming to New York now only has a 23.09 percent shot to happen.

Over 70 percent seems like a good indication that the quarterback has a more-than-decent chance to sign with the Vikings this offseason.

Now would not be a good time to bet on Cousins going to Minnesota due to the team’s odds being so high. If someone were to wager $100 on the Vikings signing the free-agent quarterback, they would only win $40 more.

But if a $100 bet were placed on Minnesota back in February, it would result in a $1,000 reward if Cousins does indeed sign with the purple and gold.
