Adding Fuel to the Fire (Vikings Playoff Scenario)

There's nothing more enjoyable than helping get those delusional homer panties nice and moist before their favorite team cock blocks them one more time.

Current Playoff Standings:



The Realistic and Easiest Scenario (Passing the Bears and catching Arizona):

If the Vikings go 5-1 the rest of the way, and the Cardinals 3-3 or worse, and Bears 4-2 or worse. The Vikings will win the tie-breakers over the Bears and Cardinals for the 7th seed.

The remaining schedules, and a possible scenario:



It doesn't matter which specific games they win or lose. The Lions, 49ers, and Panthers won't be a factor if the Vikings go 5-1.

Making Things More Difficult (AKA the Vikings way) Scenario:

If the Vikings go 4-2, then the Cardinals gotta lose 4 and the Bears 3. Unless the Bears do some weird thing where they lose to the Jags and Texans, but beat the Packers, Lions, and Vikings. In that scenario at 8-8, the Bears would win the tie-breaker over the Vikings. It would take a bunch of upsets for the Lions, 49ers, or Panthers to be a factor in this scenario too, unless the Panthers beat us next week, then they would only need to go 4-2 to win the tie-breaker.

The Don't Even Think About it Scenarios:

The Vikings could still get in if they go 3-3 and finish 7-9, but ooo boy do all the planets need to align in that scenario.

And if the space/time continuum bends just right, there's even a scenario that gets them in at 6-10, as long as one of their final 2 wins isn't against the Jaguars.

So did I do it? Did I get some panties nice and moist?
