Entering their Week 11 conceding the Minnesota Vikings encounter themselves at 6-4 and, at this moment, on the right hunting in qualifying to the 2012 NFC playoff picture.
The metropolis Seahawks (6-4) foiled the Vikings in Week 9 and possess the head-to-head tiebreaker, but despite metropolis owning that tiebreaker, the Vikings are rattling such in the playoff picture.
Besides metropolis there is exclusive digit added NFC aggroup over .500, and that's the metropolis Bay Buccaneers (5-4). To Minnesota's appall that also happens to be added aggroup that holds a tiebreaker over it.
The beatific programme for Minnesota is that it rattling such controls its possess occurrence qualifying to the postseason.
Of its test sextet games, quaternary are against the digit teams slotted aweigh of it in the NFC North. Now those won't be cushy contests against the metropolis Bears (7-2) and the Green Bay Packers (6-3), but those matches provide the Vikings the possibleness to drastically rise or start downbound the playoff ladder.
And if the Vikings do substantially in those contests, then it effectuation what the rest of the NFC does is extraneous since Minnesota module attain advancement towards success its possess division.
Bottom line: In their test sextet games, the Vikings requirement to mobilisation at small quaternary wins to accomplish the postseason.
The success proportionality of Minnesota's test quaternary opponents: .686 (24-11). Two of those test sextet games are at bag and the digit bag games are against Green Bay and Chicago.
To assure themselves of a postseason berth, the Vikings staleness get 10 games. That sort has been evenhandedly conformable at effort a aggroup into the postseason (sorry 2010Tampa Bay Bucs).
Now, I sticking the Vikings to closing 9-7 after the central saucer and I reassert that projection.
I had Minnesota success at bag over metropolis and Green Bay and defeating St. gladiator on the road. Minnesota would retrograde to Chicago, metropolis and Green Bay on the road. I reassert that position.
It's moments same this where the Vikings desire they could verify backwards a expiration at bag to metropolis Bay...or at Indianapolis...or at Seattle...or at Washington. All quaternary of which were winnable games.
That effectuation Minnesota staleness assail me with a get on the agency over digit of threesome of the NFL's prizewinning teams. I'm not pollyannaish for them.
