The Minnesota Vikings have a sweet 6-2 record to start the season, carrying a current 82.4% probability of reaching the postseason, according to DVOA.
Minnesota recently toppled the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday Night Football, a desperately needed get-right game after back-to-back losses to the Detroit Lions and Los Angeles Rams.
Next up is the Jacksonville Jaguars in three days, a club showcasing a 2-7 record and probably minus quarterback Trevor Lawrence.
