MINNEAPOLIS -- The Minnesota Vikings are in the playoffs. They'll play the Packers for the NFC North title on Sunday night at Lambeau Field. And their possible playoff destinations for wild-card weekend are relatively simple to work out.
A win in Green Bay means the Vikings would host the Seahawks on either Jan. 9 or 10. The Seahawks lost to the Packers in Week 2, so a Vikings-Packers rematch in Minneapolis won't happen. The Vikings, however, would likely welcome another shot at the Seahawks with a healthy defense.
A loss in Green Bay opens up the Vikings' other two possibilities, one of which will have been ruled out by kickoff Sunday night.
