Here's Who The Minnesota Vikings Will Likely Face In The Playoffs

MINNEAPOLIS — On top of pulling off the greatest comeback in NFL history, the Minnesota Vikings also clinched the NFL North title on Saturday. That means they're guaranteed at least one home playoff game come January.

But while the Vikings may have wrapped up their division early, they still have a lot to play for in their final three games of the regular season.

Minnesota is currently the No. 2 seed in the NFC, with the No. 1 likely out of their reach.

The 11-1 Philadelphia Eagles — who have a tie-breaking win over the Vikings — can lock up the No. 1 seed on Saturday by beating their division rivals, the Dallas Cowboys.

So at this point, the best the Vikings can realistically hope for is to not lose the No. 2 seed.

The 10-4 San Francisco 49ers are the current No. 3 seed, but could easily jump Minnesota. The good news is that the Vikings' final three games are all fairly winnable.

The Vikings will play the 8-5 New York Giants at home on Saturday before going on the road to play in Chicago against the 3-11 Bears the following week. Their final game of the season is against the 5-8 Packers in Green Bay.

But if the season ended today, here's what the NFL playoff bracket would look like:
