If things break right for the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, they'll be NFC North champions before dinnertime.

With a win over the New York Jets and a Detroit Lions loss or tie, the 9-2 Vikings will have locked up the division with five games remaining.

It won't be an easy task. The Jets, who finished 4-13 a season ago, are 7-4 so far thanks to a top five defense in both yards and points allowed. Over the last three games, the Jets have allowed 37 total points to the Buffalo Bills, New England Patriots and Chicago Bears. That's about 12 points a game.
