Chicago Bears (7-7) vs. Jacksonville Jaguars (1-13)

  • Game time: Sunday at 12:00 pm CT (CBS)
  • Who to root for: Bears

If any game were to go the way Vikings fans want it to, this is most likely the one to do it. The Bears are hoping to sneak into the playoffs while the Jaguars are currently holding on to the top pick in the 2021 NFL Draft.

Chicago is a 7.5 point favorite according to Pickcenter and hold on to the number 16 pick. A win for the Bears would help to secure that they stay with a worse pick than Minnesota. But it still feels odd to root for a team that beat the Vikings so recently.

New York Giants (5-9) vs. Baltimore Ravens (9-5)

  • Game time: Sunday at 12:00 pm CT (FOX)
  • Who to root for: Giants

A win by the Giants would move them to 6-9, tying the Vikings heading into the final week of the season. Since New York currently has the number 10 overall pick, seeing them tumble down the board would be quite a treat for Minnesota.

Sadly, Pickcenter doesn’t seem to think the Giants have much of a chance. Baltimore is 10.5 point favorites heading into the game but fans of Minnesota have to hope that New York has some kind of trick up their sleeves.
