The Minnesota Vikings have reached the bye week, sitting with a record of 5-3-1, a half-game back of the Chicago Bears in the division. Earlier in the season, when it seemed as if the wheels were falling off the wagon, getting to the bye week in decent shape seemed like a pipe dream. But, they made it - and in pretty good shape. Around the conference, the Saints have all the momentum right now - coming off of good wins versus a pair of Super Bowl favorites in the Vikings and Rams.
