vike daddy Posted November 24, 2021 Author Share Posted November 24, 2021 Status: The Vikings roller-coaster ride seems to be at its highest point at the moment, given that Minnesota is coming off back-to-back victories against teams with winning records. But there is still plenty of work to be done, beginning Sunday in San Francisco against a 49ers team that also holds NFC playoff aspirations. While Minnesota currently has a 59-percent chance to make the dance, those odds jump to 83 percent with a win in Week 12. The Vikings seem to be getting hot as the final stretch looms, and this is when teams want to be playing their best football of the season. https://www.vikings.com/news/nfc-playoff-picture-2021-week-12-season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

San Francisco is now the 6th seed, along with a win over the Rams. Minnesota might back their way into it, but Philly has a much easier schedule from here on out.

I’d think 9 wins is good enough for 6 or 7. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteelKing728 Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 As it stands, we are out of the playoff race as fast as we got into it. We are the 8th seed and I think it stays that way: https://playoffpredictors.com/Football/NFL?L=IwJhrdlHuyy0Uik4vohNxVcnCVY9KPfCgs3FAuEAZmNyx1efrwAYOj5MB5UvyHkamIV1HoZaQgS6KlQA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philly or New Orleans too. Everything is setting up for Mn to “earn” the 7th seed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFeist Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Vikings, despite being the current 8th seed, still have the highest odds of the 5-6 teams to make the playoffs, at 49%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way I see it is that we have to sweep Detroit and Chicago, beat Pittsburgh on a short week at home, and then beat either LA at home or beat GB in Lambeau. I just don't trust us to beat Chicago in Chicago on primetime or show up at home vs the Rams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can we give Hunter a robotic shoulder, or robotic whatever to make him healthy again? BTW, I think we need to get Pat Jones playing more, and push Wonnum inside on passing downs.

I just don't trust us to beat Chicago in Chicago on primetime or show up at home vs the Rams. The Vikings likely need 4 more wins. The easy route is winning at Detroit, beating Pittsburgh, and sweeping Chicago. None of those games worry me. If you can’t win those games, you don’t belong in the playoffs. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
