The Vikings (11-3) will get the NFC’s No. 1 seed if…

They win their remaining two games (at Green Bay, vs. Chicago) and the Eagles (12-2) lose their final two games (vs. Oakland, vs. Dallas). Philadelphia clinches the NFC’s No. 1 seed with a win against the Raiders next week.
 
The No. 2 seed if…
They beat the Packers and Bears, securing a first-round bye. If the Vikings go 1-1 in the final two games to finish 12-4, they need to avoid a tie with a potential NFC South-champion Panthers (10-4) team, which owns the head-to-head tiebreaker. The Vikings will win head-to-head ties over the Saints (10-4) and Rams (10-4).
 
The No. 3 seed if...
They go 1-1 and lose the first-round bye to the Panthers, who need to win out (vs. Tampa, at Atlanta) and have the Saints lose once for Carolina to win its division. Then the 12-win Panthers would leap the Vikings for the NFC’s No. 2 seed. If the Vikings go 0-2 in the final two games, they could be leapt by either the Rams or Saints, who both need to win out for a shot at a first-round bye.
 
The No. 4 seed if...
They go 0-2 and get leapt in the standings by the Rams and either the Saints or Panthers.

for the 2 seed, a tie at 12-4 with us, Carolina and the Rams would result in a 2 seed as well. 

The only way we dont get the 2 seed with ONE VICTORY is if the Rams (Tenn, SF) lose one, the Saints lose one (ATL, Tampa) AND Carolina runs the table

I think the overwhelming odds are the #2 seed, followed by being the #3 seed. Philly is at least performing decently with Foles and that should carry them for the remaining two games. I think Minnesota will have a game against Green Bay next Saturday, especially if Rodgers plays. The home crowd and Rodgers will be stoked to stick it to the Vikings.
