The Minnesota Vikings will try to rebound on Thursday night when they host the Pittsburgh Steelers inside U.S. Bank Stadium.

After last week’s loss, the season may be a lost cause for the Minnesota Vikings.

The Vikings have spent all season trying to convince everyone that they’re a good team. They’ve blown leads. They’ve lost to Cooper Rush. They lost to the Detroit Lions, who hadn’t won a game in 364 days.

And yet, they’re somehow in the middle of the race for a playoff spot.

With several teams around them, the Vikings have a chance to stay in the hunt against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Like the Vikings, the Steelers appear to be on the verge of their own changes but are also fighting for a playoff spot.

A good motto for the 2021 Vikings has been to expect the unexpected but here are five bold predictions for a primetime showdown.
