Vikings playoff odds plummeting

November 18, 2016 at 1:04AM

The Vikings were 5-0 and favorites to win the Super Bowl with a 93.9 percent chance of making the playoffs a month ago, according to Football Outsiders' odds and simulations.

The free fall to 5-4 has led to a much different outlook for the team's playoff chances.

After Sunday's loss at Washington, Football Outsiders only gave the Vikings a 57.5 percent chance of making the playoffs. MakeNFLPlayoffs.com dropped the Vikings' chances below 50 percent to 44.8.

The Vikings odds of making the Super Bowl, according to Football Outsiders, have fallen from 30.1 percent after the 5-0 start to 5.3 percent.

FiveThirtyEight gives the Vikings a 52 percent chance of making the playoffs and only 2 percent odds they win the Super Bowl.
