Playoff probability for all 32 teams (including the Vikings) going into week 18

The Minnesota Vikings’ playoff chances are dire as the NFL heads into its final regular season weekend.

Despite losing embarrassingly to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday night, Minnesota has a slight flicker of hope among those teams that can still make the playoffs this weekend.

Only one wildcard spot is available in the NFC with up to six teams fighting for it. How do the Vikings stack up with the rest of the pack? ESPN’s Football Power Index can rank every team’s playoff probability from worst to best.
