What's at stake for the Minnesota Vikings and New Orleans Saints in their Week 16 meeting
New Orleans Saints have the opportunity to wrap up the NFC South with a victory over the Minnesota Vikings on Christmas Day. This would be huge for the New Orleans Saints. Tampa Bay Buccaneers are within one game of the Saints. New Orleans owns the tiebreaker due to head-to-head victories but if the Saints were to lose two straight they could lose first place in the division.
Minnesota Vikings need more than just one win against the New Orleans Saints. They would need the Arizona Cardinals to lose both their games to end the 2020 NFL Season. Minnesota would also need at least one loss from the Chicago Bears in the next two weeks. Minnesota Vikings would need to beat the Saints on Christmas Day and win their Week 17 meeting with the Detroit Lions.
New Orleans has already clinched a 2020 NFL Playoff spot so their is more at stake for the Minnesota Vikings. New Orleans Saints will be without top wide receiver Michael Thomas. Minnesota Vikings will need their run game to control the football game.
If the Minnesota Vikings want to make a run at the 2020 NFL Playoffs they need Dalvin Cook to have big games these next two weeks of the 2020 NFL Season.
