The Minnesota Vikings are three-point favorites at home versus the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 14.
Mike Zimmer’s team is living on a prayer for playoff contention after losing in Detroit. The math suggests the team must win four of the next five games to play meaningful January football.
Also, here is the injury report — Christian Darrisaw and Adam Thielen are out. Camryn Bynum, Dalvin Cook, and Blake Lynch are questionable.
In addition, the Vikings will notably be without the services of Danielle Hunter, Everson Griffen, and Irv Smith Jr.
