I would say the Vikings have the most difficult remaining schedule...

I could see the Lions winning out if we dont beat them next week.

They only have 3 home games left too. Vikes and Lions are both going to have to be road warriors. But yah, our road games are much more difficult (at least on paper).

I think you are overrating the Lions...  if that happened, they would go 7-1 on the road this season.  I can guarantee that won't happen.  They will slip up and lose 1 or 2 of the Ravens, Bucs, and Bengals games on the road.  But it just goes to show the importance of the Vikings vs. Lions game on Thanksgiving.  We have a much tougher schedule than them from here on out so we better win that game.

Just read the Vikings have a 89.2% chance to make the playoffs.

maybe,  but I am certainly under whelmed with the teams remaining on their schedule.  I am saying that a 500 club would be favored in any of those matchups except their game with us.

47.3% of all statistics are made up on the spot.

At most the Lions could lose to Vikings, Ravens, Bengals and Packers   That would make them 8-8.  Vikings have to win on Thanksgiving.

Packers could lose to Ravens, Steelers, Panthers, Vikings, Lions.   Possible 5 losses.

Vikings are NOT a lock yet.
