The Vikings are a dumpster fire that finally is crashing back to earth. We've found our 2016 Falcons stand-in. Speaking of the Falcons, they might not have the defense to hold up in the playoffs, but I do think they'll do enough to keep that division win this time. |
Disagree here. Vikings certainly aren't the best team in the NFL, and probably not Top 5 material either, but I don't see them being this year's equivalent of the 2015 Falcons. Their defense is far better than Atlanta's was, and perhaps more importantly, they've gotten the toughest part of their schedule out of the way and are still 5-2. They only play 3 teams that currently have winning records the rest of the way. NFC North plays the AFC South this year, so they have, without question, the easiest interconference slate. On top of that, the NFC race sets up extremely favorably for the Vikings. The only non division leaders in the NFC with winning records are Green Bay and the three NFC East teams behind Dallas. Should the Packers overtake Minnesota, the Vikings will benefit from their wild card competition taking each other out. I would be shocked at this point to see Minnesota miss the playoffs.
