Fans search after the Detroit Lions beat the Minnesota Vikings and ending up being the 2024 NFC North Champions at Ford Field in Detroit on Sunday, Jan. 5, 2025. © Kimberly P. Mitchell/ USA TODAY NETWORK through Imagn Images. Q: What’s the Vikings’ finest course in the playoffs?
Jeffrey Becker-Imagn Images.
Response: It’s a bit complex, so we’ll simply note it out:
- Vikings over Rams (WC)
- Packers over Eagles (WC)
- Leaders over Buccaneers (WC)
- Leaders at Vikings (Divisional)
- Packers at Lions (Divisional)
- Packers at Vikings (NFC Title Game)
This is a great deal of “cheering for the Packers,” however if you desire Minnesota to dip into home, the most convenient path is for Green Bay to manage some upsets.
Otherwise, beating the Rams on Monday and heading to Tampa Bay in the Divisional Round isn’t an awfully difficult task, all things thought about. Once again, however, this will need a Packers upset.
If no upsets take place, and the Vikings dominate at SoFi Stadium, Minnesota will go back to Detroit in the Divisional Round.

Response: No.
We didn’t anticipate him to best from cover to cover throughout his novice season. And last weekend, he missed out on a 51-yarder at Detroit. That occurs. It simply does.
His toss out of bounds late in the 2nd Quarter stunk, however such is life.
We’re more ecstatic about Reichard returning on track in the postseason than we are anxious about more misses out on.
Reichard will be great.[»
Q: Will Sam Darnold recover today versus the Rams?
Gary A. Vasquez-Imagn Images.
Response: Yes.
The Vikings’ front workplace and possibly 5-7 onlooking basic supervisors from afar will keep track of Darnold’s efficiency after the Week 18 stinker. Lots of have actually thought that Darnold has an agreement north of $ 40 million waiting on him in the offseason from a quarterback-needy group.
Another woeful private proving might slash that figure to $ 20 million or two. Maybe less. It’s nearly as if one video game alone figures out Darnold’s long-lasting trajectory as an NFL gamer and business owner.
Darnold has actually provided and rebounded every action of the method 2024. We anticipate today to be no various.
He might not toss 5 goals, however he will not fire up a Detroit-style car.
