Minnesota will win their first division title since 2017

It’s a foregone conclusion that the Vikings will win the NFC North, but they’ll have a chance to wrap things up on Sunday. The first part of that equation is a win over the Jets, and they seem to have enough to get the job done.

New York’s defense has improved since the last time Minnesota saw them in 2018, but there should be enough opportunities to score points. With White facing a better defense than the one he saw last week, turnovers could be what determines this game in front of a hostile crowd at U.S. Bank Stadium.

If the Vikings get the win, they’ll be pulling for the Jacksonville Jaguars to beat the Detroit Lions. The Lions have also improved in the second year of Dan Campbell, but they have blown too many games late to consider them a lock.

That could open the door for Minnesota and give them an opportunity to once again become the kings of the North.

Prediction: Vikings win 24-21
