What will be at stake for Vikings vs. Packers

Here are the four possible scenarios for the Vikings over the next two weeks:

1. Beat the Bears and Packers: 5-5 and one game behind the Packers (6-4).

2. Lose to the Bears, beat the Packers: 4-6 and two games behind the Packers (6-4).

3. Beat the Bears, lose to the Packers: 4-6 and three games behind the Packers (7-3), plus down 2-0 in head-to-head matchups.

4. Lose to the Bears and the Packers: 3-7 and four games behind the Packers (7-3), plus down 2-0 in head-to-head matchups.

In the first scenario, the Vikings are right back in the thick of it. In the fourth scenario, their season is virtually over. The good news is that #2 and #3 are both pretty good scenarios for the Packers. The Bears are in the mix too, but I still think it will be Packers vs. Vikings to decide the division.

The Packers will be coming off a bye. This will be their big chance to deal the Vikings a death blow, or at least take a three and a half game lead on them. They already send Wade Phillips packing. Maybe now it'll be Chilly's turn!

LOL to the last comment. I hope that being clever continues to work out well for you.

I like how the Packers are sitting in any of the situations. Even if the Vikings win the next two, we have a tendency to finish strong toward the end of the season, and I have confidence that we will not lose the division, especially to the Vikings. Not this year.

I'd just LOVE to see the Queens completely shut down this season. Although I suppose it would be nice for Chilly to hold on for another year.
Just seems like if the Queens have any glimmer of hope they're going to keep scratching and clawing. Be nice to just snuff their hopes completely and watch the implosion. It is a real possibility they wouldn't get a stadium and would end up in LA.
Sidney Rice is coming back. Favre needs a guy who will go up and get the ball, so when he's in trouble he can just throw it up there. Rice is that guy. Rice and Shiancoe. Moss WOULD have been one.
It's a Thursday game for Thanksgiving. So we'll have the bye week this Sunday, but they'll be playing the Bares. I'll be cheering for Julius Peppers to get some shots in.

"Well, the Vikings beat the Cardinals. If that means that they will hold onto Chilly for another week, it's worth it."

I hope the Vikings win, so Chily keeps his job for three more years.

Lets keep in mind they BARELY beat the Cards. It may have given them some "false hope".....which is fine for me.
I think the game this week with the Bears really won't prove much, unless they absolutely destroy the Bears.
I think OUR game against the Vikings will prove which team takes over control of the division.

I'm focusing more on the Vikings @ Bears match more right now than the Packers @ Vikings...

Vikings @ Bears is kind of a lose-lose situation for the Packers unless they have important injuries.

Bears win they take the division lead (tied record with the tie breaker)...
Vikings win they have momentum with their longest winning streak this season playing the Packers at their home.

I think I'd like to see the Vikings momentum killed and lose to the Bears and Packers back to back weeks to knock them out of the race.

I think the Packers can win more down the stretch than the Bears.

FYI - If we keep winning, it doesn't matter what the other teams do.

That's how it should be anyways. One important lesson I've learned in life is take care of your own business first.

We are 6-3. They're not.
