The Vikings got a boost to their 2021 season after a win over the Chargers — and it showed in the team’s playoff chances.
Minnesota now has a 40% chance of making the postseason, according to FiveThirtyEight.com. That is a 13% improvement from the previous week.
Despite the decent playoff odds, the Vikings have just a 5% chance of winning the division. The Packers are a big reason why. Green Bay, with an 8-2 record, is tied for the best chance of winning the Super Bowl this year. Tennessee is the team Green Bay is tied with at the top. The Packers and Titans appear to be in great spots for playoff seeding.
Green Bay has approximately a 99% chance of making the postseason and a 95% chance of winning the division. The Vikings, with a 4-5 record after Week 10, beating the Packers in Week 11 on Sunday could really change things, though.
