Minnesota Vikings defeat New Orleans Saints — NFL Regular Season Week 5 (Caesars Superdome, New Orleans LA, October 11, 2026, confirmed via NFL.com or AP by October 12, 2026)
Probability
58%
Bookmaker odds imply ~59% win probability for Minnesota (moneyline Vikings –142, Saints +120; spread –2.5 points; as of Oct 3, 2026). Minnesota entered the season undefeated at 3-0, having beaten three division rivals. New Orleans stands at 1-2 after a loss in New York. The Saints defense has allowed well above-average rushing yards through the first three weeks — a weakness that Minnesota's strong running game can exploit. Vikings road games in New Orleans have historically been balanced (ATS), but the current form gap and deeper offense compensate for the home-field advantage.

Verdict: Hit
Die Vorhersage ist eingetreten. Die Minnesota Vikings besiegten die New Orleans Saints am 11. Oktober 2026 in New Orleans mit 23:13 (Endstand). Quellen: ESPN (espn.com/nfl/game/_/gameId/401872987/vikings-saints), PFF, StartTribune. Die Vikings verbesserten ihre Saisonbilanz damit auf 5:0. Kyler Murray warf für 229 Yards und einen Touchdown, Justin Jefferson fing 6 Pässe für 79 Yards und einen TD, Aaron Jones erzielte einen entscheidenden TD im vierten Quartal.
