The Minnesota Vikings at Chicago Bears game this Sunday will have a preseason feel for most of us Bears fans, but Vikings fans are still clinging on to some hope to better their seed in the NFC postseason. The 49ers don't play until late afternoon, so Minnesota will need to take care of their business to put the pressure on San Francisco. A Vikings win, and a San Fran loss means Minnesota snags the two seed and the possibility of an extra home playoff game.
Minnesota may not even be favored in their postseason home opener, but that's next week's problem.
