vike daddy Posted November 6, 2023 Author Share Posted November 6, 2023 The Vikings now have a 61% probability of reaching the postseason, according to the New York Times‘ playoff simulator. Unreal after a 1-4 start. https://vikingsterritory.com/2023/news/top_news/after-vikings-at-falcons?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=facebook 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteelKing728 Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 Depending on how the NFCS plays out, the New Orleans game is still probably a must win for us. And I'm really hoping we get flexed out of SNF against Denver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s already been announced that it’s not getting flexed, but why would you want that? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelKing728 Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 Just now, JDBrocks said: It’s already been announced that it’s not getting flexed, but why would you want that? Dang. That just doesn't look like a premium matchup from the NFL's POV, and I usually have to wait until the next day to catch the game lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vike daddy Posted November 7, 2023 Author Share Posted November 7, 2023 (edited) Toughest remaining strength of schedules, NFC: 49ers (.545) Cowboys (.526) Commanders (.522) Seahawks (.513) Vikings (.507) Eagles (.464) Lions (.442) Saints (.406) Falcons (.362) It does appear that the Vikings may be able to parlay an easy schedule into a playoff berth, especially after Sunday's improbable win with newcomer Joshua Dobbs under center. The Lions (twice), Bengals and Saints are the only remaining teams the Vikings will face that currently have winning records. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/2023-nfl-midseason-strength-of-schedules-bengals-ravens-have-toughest-road-among-playoff-hopefuls/?fbclid=IwAR125cwQDiIfsWO4pKdxht6uzUi_dQvvg3X9vynWq8nD5DRvHW_leugusiI Edited November 7, 2023 by vike daddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vike daddy Posted November 8, 2023 Author Share Posted November 8, 2023 (edited) so we need Cowboy and Seattle losses, and of course Detroit. Edited November 8, 2023 by vike daddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swede700 Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 While this thread is technically about the 2nd half, let's show a recap of the first... Quote Minnesota Vikings (5-4) FPI rank: 18 Chances to make the playoffs: 71.5% Chances to win their division: 20.8% What we know: Receiver Justin Jefferson is one of the best players in the NFL -- but the Vikings can win without him. Coach Kevin O'Connell built his entire offense around Jefferson, and he had caught an NFL-high 36 passes for 571 yards when he suffered a hamstring injury in Week 5. Since then, the Vikings have won four consecutive games and are back in the NFC playoff race. That's due in large part to a defense that has found its footing under new coordinator Brian Flores. During the win streak, the Vikings have ranked No. 7 in scoring defense (17 points allowed per game) and No. 3 in both defensive efficiency and defensive EPA. Stat that defined the first half: In starting the season 1-4, the Vikings compiled the NFL's worst turnover margin (minus-9). Opponents scored the fifth-most points off those turnovers (37). Since then, the Vikings are tied for the NFL's third-best turnover ratio (plus-4) and their offense leads the league in points off turnovers (38). https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/38678708/nfl-2023-midseason-report-afc-nfc-questions-critical-stats#MIN 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikingsrule Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 Win 3 of 5, I think we will be in a good spot down the stretch. Really need to win those NFC matchups. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
