As a life long Vikings fan I can never root for Dallas. Even if they're playing Green Bay or Chicago.
If Al Qaeda got together to form a football team I would root for them over Dallas

I’m with you and I’m a packers fan. Rooting for the cowboys is like going to a strip club and hoping to see your wife/girlfriend working sniffer row.
I think they call it "cross-flexing". The NFC has most of the big TV markets, which gives FOX a ratings advantage. So the league throws a few of the big-market games to CBS to help them out.
Also, I think in 2023 the which-teams-will-be-on-which-network is going to be changing significantly, you will see more of this.

We would still need them to lose another one and win out ourselves. Also, after spending most of the day running around looking for Hi Temp cheese for a smoked meatloaf recipe before getting the bright idea to just ask a guy behind the Fareway meat counter if they carried it, I still think I prefer GB winning yesterday. But I do see the counter argument.
I thought cross flexing is what happens when you eat Taco Bell for lunch and then don’t have access to a toilet at work.
GIVE US THE SAFETY!!!!
I've watched this several times, and that demand just cracks me up every time. More PA gold...
True but that is still much easier than being essentially 2 games back. Vikes can win close games and Eagles' defense seemed porous at times last night. They still have to go to NYG and Dallas. Vikes obviously still have tough games too but it's not impossible.
Yeah I saw the schedule and realized we got all of our home division games early and road games late...kinda odd.
Plus, what always stands out to me about JJ, despite looking like a slender frame he is tough as hell running with the football after the catch. No fear of contact, and usually wins the battle on contact for the extra yard or 2
Was strange but I'll take it this year since we used it to build momentum for the season. Hopefully we sweep though as it's clear we have the best team.
Minn and Philly have a lot of the same opponents in the last 8 and Philly looks to have slightly harder road games. 538 basically has it as even odds for Philly and Minn to get the #1 seed with the Cowboys being a dark horse.
We are lucky to get pretty much every remaining difficult non-division game at home. If we can get through the Cowboys, Pats, Jets, and Giants (all at home) with a 3-1 record, I like our chances. Eagles still have the Giants twice and the Cowboys on the road. Packers and Bears could very well just be playing for next year when we get to them in January. To me, 14-3 looks likely for both Vikes and Eagles, but wouldnt be surprised if either goes 15-2 or 13-4
True, but both the Packers and Bears looked they won't be easy outs this weekend. I'm sure the Packers would love nothing more than ruin the Vikings shot at a #1 seed.
