The Steelers pulled off an upset win in Week 13, while the Vikings fell in upset defeat to the Lions.
Despite that, Minnesota heads into the Week 14 clash with Pittsburgh as the favorite, according to Tipico Sportsbook. The Vikings (-103) are 3.5-point favorites over the Steelers (-117) for the Thursday game.
The Vikings could win out and theoretically not make the postseason, though it would have a 96% chance of making the playoffs in the team did that, according to FiveThirtyEight.com. Currently, the Vikings have a 28% chance of making the postseason.
If the Mike Zimmer era is to continue, the Vikings need to start winning games like the one against the Steelers in Week 14.
