Our friend Kevin Seifert over at ESPN.com crunched the numbers and writes today that the Vikings conceivably could clinch the NFC North title before December and before they go on the road again.
That scenario would require a number of factors falling into place, but it could happen. The Vikings have a comfortable three-game lead in the division right now and could have it wrapped up before they go on the road again for a Dec. 6 game at Arizona.
Here is Seifert's story outlining what needs to happen for that scenario to come true.
