Minnesota Vikings schedule: full game-by-game preview
By Dan Zinski
Week 16 at Green Bay Packers (Saturday Dec. 24, 12 PM CT, Fox)
The Vikes and Packers have their second meeting of the season scheduled on Christmas Eve. I personally don’t care for egg nog but if you’re one of those people who insists on drinking it, you can have some egg nog and watch the Packers and Vikings. Or you can drink something good and watch the Packers and Vikings. I suggest beer.
This could end up being a battle for the NFC North championship once again. And once again the game will be at Lambeau Field. The Vikings proved last year that they have no fear whatsoever about going into Lambeau late in the season and taking on the Packers.
So who do you predict will come out on top in the NFC North? I feel like the division race will once again come down to Green Bay and Minnesota. Chicago might surprise a few people and sneak into that 9-7 area but I don’t think they will ultimately be a factor in the division. Detroit I think could fall completely apart.
And which team between Green Bay and Minnesota has the best chance of making the Super Bowl? It’s hard to pick against the team with Aaron Rodgers at quarterback. I know Vikings fans don’t want to hear it but until Teddy Bridgewater shows more consistency, it’s hard to pick Minnesota as a legit Super Bowl team. Even if their defense takes another big step this year, they will still need Teddy to get better.
