Vikings at 49ers Divisional Playoffs Preview: Sisyphean

On Sunday, the Vikings traveled to New Orleans to take on the 13-win New Orleans Saints. They put a great game plan together, executed it very well (for the most part), and eked out a thrilling overtime win. Their reward? Traveling to the Land of E-40 to take on the 13-win San Francisco 49ers Saturday afternoon. Just six days after thwarting a title contender in a hostile environment as 8-point underdogs, they’re facing an even more formidable title contender as 7-point underdogs. If they happen to escape Santa Clara with another victory, they’ll have to travel to face yet another formidable opponent as likely underdogs in a stadium where they already lost earlier this season.
