The Minnesota Vikings (8-6-1) can clinch a playoff berth on Sunday and virtually guarantee a third meeting with the Chicago Bears (11-4) next weekend when they host them as small home favorites at sportsbooks. Minnesota would earn at least the No. 6 seed in the NFC with a win while the Seattle Seahawks have already clinched a spot in the postseason and will be the No. 5 seed as long as they defeat the Arizona Cardinals.
NFL point spread: The Vikings opened as 4.5-point favorites; the total was 41.5 early in the week, according to sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.
