Here’s How The Minnesota Vikings Can Clinch A Playoff Spot Thusday

The Minnesota Vikings have a 99 percent chance of making the playoffs, according to NFL.com, and could clinch before their next game.

Sitting at 11-2 and with four games left in the regular season, the Minnesota Vikings have a 99 percent chance of making the playoffs, according to NFL.com, and could clinch before their next game.

Minnesota will earn a wildcard playoff spot if the Los Angeles Rams (7-6) lose or tie on the road to the 49ers (6-7) on Thursday night or if the Seattle Seahawks (8-5) lose or tie at home to the Green Bay Packers (9-4) on Sunday night.

The Vikings still can win the NFC North, too, but that requires getting even with the 12-1 Detroit Lions. Meanwhile, Minnesota is two games ahead of Green Bay.



The Vikings take on the 4-9 Chicago Bears in Minneapolis on Monday Night Football.

The Vikings then play at Seattle, host the Packers, then finish the season in Detroit.
