I don't know too much about the Vikings other than they have lost a lot of very close games this season. What do you guys think their chances of winning in Cincy are?
 
If they play like they did last week then a good chance
 
The Vikings have talent, and even without AP they are very capable of beating the Bengals. The Bengals are also good at beating themselves and are capable of losing to any team in the NFL. To me its a 50/50 game
 
The Bengals are undefeated at home and could really use a win. Think the Ravens/NE game should be a much closer game...but who knows for sure this time of the year.
 
Any time you have Adrian Peterson playing you have a chance. With Matt Cassel playing instead of Christian Ponder they have a better chance.....
 
I think much better with AP, but that goes without saying. Honestly, I can see the start of the bungles spiral out of the playoffs continue.
 
Not good, but not impossible.

While the Bengals are undefeated at home and have defeated every sub .500 team by at least 10 points in that building, the Vikings have played well in the past few weeks.
 
Vikings have been playing really well down the stretch here. This game is a toss up IMO. Lets say Cincy loses and loses to the Ravens in the last game....then all we have to do is win one of the last two and we're in.
 
Cincy have murdered the poorer teams at home this season and beaten the better teams. Which category the Vikes fall in is subjective, but we can all agree they ain't elite.

On paper, it's very hard to back an upset. Cincy at home score a lot of points. The Vikes leak a lot of points on the road. But the Minnesota have improved the past few games and are on a bit of a roll - beating the Eagles and Bears and tying with the Packers in the last 4 games. They've all been big-scoring games and it's really hard to see how this game could be anything else. If it's close in the last quarter, who knows? I'd still back Cincy's firepower over Minny's.

My guess? 34-28 Bengals
 
Im from Viking country and I know this, Now that there is no chance at making the playoffs they will play much better. They are the opposite of clutch, but I think they have a good chance at winning for no other reason than to get a worse draft position.
 
its in Cincinnati right? that means Cincinnati wins. if itwas in Minnesota I would say Vikings but Cincinnati is undefeated at home but completely opposite away
 
I say the lead will change hands 5 times in the final 2:05 - with the Vikings winning.
 
The vikings don't usually have trouble scoring points. Its the defense that gives up the games for them. Litterally, they have lost at least four games that they had big leads in within the last two minutes remaining. Harrison smith is back in the lineup so that bodes well for them but other than him their secondary is hurting. Green could have a huge game against them. Its all up to their defense in my opinion if they win or not. They are my second team so I'm really pulling for them this week to help my first loves right into the playoffs!
