Playoff probability for all 32 teams (including the Vikings) heading into Week 17

The last few weeks have not been kind to the Minnesota Vikings and their playoff chances. After two back-to-back losses, the Vikings are currently on the outside looking as the eighth seed in the NFC.

At 7-8, Minnesota has backed themselves into a corner where they are fighting the Seattle Seahawks, Los Angeles Rams and Green Bay Packers among others for the final two wild-card spots. This week, they face Green Bay at home in what appears to be a losers-go-home matchup.

With this in mind, only two weeks remain for the Vikings to move into the postseason dance. How do their chances fare against the rest of the NFL?

ESPN’s Football Power Index gives us a look at all 32 teams and where they rank in terms of their probability of making the playoffs.
