Packers and Rams put pressure on Vikings with wins

The Packers took down the Giants 31-13 in snowy conditions in New Jersey on Sunday afternoon.

That improved the Packers to 9-3 on the season. They now hold a half game lead over the Vikings, who play on Monday Night Football against the Seahawks.

Green Bay is 1-0 against Minnesota this season, but the Vikings can even that up in Week 16 at home.

The Vikings also have to worry about the 7-5 Rams, who dominated the Cardinals and could be just a game back from the Vikings if they were to fall to the Seahawks.

Per FiveThirtyEight, the Vikings still have a 91 percent chance to make the playoffs and a 42 percent chance to win the division. The Packers have a 94 percent chance to make the playoffs and a 58 percent chance to win the division. The Rams have just a 19 percent chance to make the playoffs.

We’ll know more about what the playoff picture looks like after Monday’s game between the Vikings and 9-2 Seahawks in Seattle.
