The Vikings had themselves a statement win on Sunday night against the Cowboys in Dallas, winning 28-24.
That win moved the Vikings to 7-3 and in pretty good position for the postseason.
Per FiveThirtyEight, the Vikings have an 87 percent chance to make the postseason. Minnesota has a 34 percent chance to win the NFC North, a 25 percent chance to get a first-round bye and a (wait for it . . . ) seven percent chance to win the Super Bowl.
Up next for the Vikings are the 3-6 Denver Broncos in Week 11 at U.S. Bank Stadium. The Vikings should win that game and move to 8-3 going into their Week 12 bye week.
This is how the rest of Minnesota’s schedule shakes out:
- Week 13 at Seattle
- Week 14 vs. Detroit
- Week 15 at Chargers
- Week 16 vs. Packers
- Week 17 vs. Bears
There is plenty to like about how the Vikings are playing right now, but there’s still a lot of football to be played. We’ll see if they can keep it going.
