The Vikes Magic Number is...

Comming into this extended holiday weekend of NFL, the magic number for the Vikes to make the playoffs was and is 1.

Comming into the extended weekend there were a total of 7 opportunities for the Vikes to get the magic number down to 0.

Here are the 7 opportunites

This weekend (Week 16):
Vikes beat Pack Christmas eve.
Bucs at home beat Panthers
Rams at home lose to Eagles on Monday Night Football
And a 1/2 Tick down for a Seattle loss to the Cardinals.

Next Weekend (Week 17):
Vikes beat Redskins
Rams loss at home vs. Jets
Panthers loss at home vs. Saints
1/2 Tick down for a Seattle loss if they also lose Week 16

As we know the Vikes lost another close one to the Pack. It appears as if the Panthers will beat the Bucs and Seattle will beat the Cardinals. The Eagles have nothing to play for and probably will play backups most if not all the game.

It looks like the Vikes 7 Chances are going will be down to 3 heading into Week 17. Ugggh!
