Minnesota Vikings (6-6)

Games Remaining:

At Jacksonville (2-9), Indianapolis (5-6), at Green Bay (5-6), Chicago (2-9)

At least Minnesota has the benefit of not having to play a team with a winning record during their final four games this season. Since they likely have to win all of these games it only helps their chances.

The Vikings are already 2-0 against AFC South teams in 2016, so they should be able to win their next two games. Playing in Lambeau is always tough for Minnesota and it will not be any different this year as the Packers could be fighting for a playoff spot as well.

If the Vikings are able to win all three games before they face the Bears in the final matchup of the season, would it really surprise anyone if Minnesota somehow found a way to lose to Chicago and erase their postseason hopes?
