#2 is still really big. Every single other team is at home other than the Eagles. Which is big. Also maybe the Cowboys or somebody can bump off the Eagles. Giving us the NFC Championship game at home. You always want the absolute highest seed possible. #2 is a lot better than #3. Sure it doesn't give you a bye anymore. Which I personally think is unfair. But it's still valuable.
Not to mention - you face the weakest team in the 1st rd.

I disagree. If you win - you home-field isn't the next rd and have a decent chance of hosting NFC championship at home as well.
Good chance we'll clinch the 2 seed before week 18 so can use the final game as a bye week. Just have to win the next 2 and have the Vikings lose one more after this one.

Yes I agree completely. We want that #2. We have a good chance to get it too. But we have to finish out the season and keep playing good.

Vikings will lose another game, but we should still win our games. Maybe rest a bit week 18 when the #2 is clinched.

9-0 in games decided by eight points or fewer, mostly against teams with losing records. Their win against Buffalo was impressive, and they beat Washington, but they've been dominated by every other good team they've played. Negative point differential entering the day and it's getting a whole lot worse.
