Wildfires Shift Betting Line: Vikings Favorites in Arizona

The NFL’s Vikings and Rams game had a change of venue due to wildfires, causing betting lines to shift. Originally, Minnesota was favored by 1. 5 points at DraftKings. After moving from SoFi Stadium in L. A. to Arizona, the line changed, now favoring the Vikings by 2. 5 points. The relocation from SoFi to Arizona has stabilized the betting spread at Minnesota minus-2. 5. It’s uncertain if sports books will refund bets, considering the loss of the Rams’ home-field advantage. However, Vikings fans might have filled SoFi if conditions were normal. In Arizona, it remains to be seen if Vikings supporters will outnumber Rams fans. The wildfires have not only affected the game’s location but also the betting dynamics. The Vikings’ advantage isn’t clear-cut. Fan support can sway the game’s outcome, and it’s uncertain how the shift in venue will impact the attendance and atmosphere.
