a monday night game in the playoffs?  That seems really weird.

and depending on how things shake out, they could play a the Eagles in 6 days.

Seems odd in the AFC that the #2 and #3 seeds play on Sunday, while the #4 and #5 seeds play on Saturday, which seems to be a slight advantage going into the next week.  Yet in the NFC the #4 and #5 seeds play Monday night.

How? Eagles will play the lowest remaining seed which can't possibly be the Vikes.

Sorry, I was referring to the winner of the monday night game getting only 6 days to face off the team with a bye.

My bad, thought you were referring to the Vikes.

Tickets are in short supply for the Minnesota Vikings' first playoff appearance since 2018 — and they won't come cheap.The vast majority of reserved tickets — about 60,000 — are held by season ticket members, with the remainder controlled by Vikings players, coaches and staff, plus for the visiting team, said Jeff Anderson, chief communications officer of the Vikings.
That leaves about 6,000 tickets for the wild-card game against the New York Giants on Sunday at U.S. Bank Stadium.
About 95% of season-ticket holders locked in their existing seats for the playoffs through the Vikings' pay-as-you-play program. Last week, the Vikings released the unclaimed seats to the general public and, as of Friday, had fewer than 2,000 seats available for sale, Anderson said.
About a quarter of ticket buys on the secondary ticket market happen the week before the game, according to Ticketmaster, the NFL's official ticket partner. About 15% of the tickets are sold in the three days before the game.
Currently, the average resale ticket price for the Giants-Vikings game is $324 on SeatGeek, said Chris Leyden, director of consumer strategy for the New York-based secondary ticket company, which in 2018, became an official secondary ticket provider of the NFL.
That price is similar to the average selling price on Ticket King, a local secondary ticket seller with offices in Minneapolis and St. Paul, said owner Michael Nowakowski.
To compare, the average ticket price for the Vikings' 2018 NFC divisional round home against the New Orleans Saints was $290 on SeatGeek.
Tickets for the Giants-Vikings game is the highest-selling ticket on SeatGeek among the six NFL playoff games, as of Monday morning, Leyden said. With so much demand for tickets, experts said fans need to be smart on how they buy.
Monday pricesHere is the current average resale price for each of the six NFL wild-card games on SeatGeek.
Cowboys at Bucs: $490
Seahawks at 49ers: $468
Ravens at Bengals: $327
Giants at Vikings: $324
Chargers at Jaguars: $318
Dolphins at Bills: $259

I remember paying $295.00 for a ticket to the NFCC game in the Metrodome in 1998.....it seemed like a lot then.
