We’ve got an NFL Saturday doubleheader for everyone’s

viewing pleasure this afternoon Super Bowl Dru Samia Jersey , folks, and one of the two games is of particular interest to fans of the Minnesota Vikings and their playoff hopes.Things will start out in Nashville, where the Tennessee Titans (8-6) will play host to the Washington Redskins (7-7). This is the one that Vikings fans will want to pay attention to. As we pointed out in our cheering guide for this week, the Vikings do have a scenario this week that can see them clinch a postseason spot, but it has to start with Washington losing. If the Redskins can go into Tennessee as an 11-point underdog and pull off the upset, there is no scenario under which the Vikings can clinch a playoff spot this week and we’ll have drama all the way into Week 17.This game kicks off at 3:30 PM Central and can be seen on the NFL Network. I’m sure it’s on local channels somewhere if you’re in the Nashville or DC areas.From there, we head out west to what should be a great all-AFC matchup between the Baltimore Ravens (8-6) and the Los Angeles Chargers (11-3). The Chargers, coming off of their thrilling last-second victory over the Kansas City Chiefs last Thursday Dru Samia Jersey nfl draft , are still in a dogfight for the AFC West title, while the Ravens’ potential scenarios range all the way from winning the AFC North (if things break right) to being completely eliminated from the playoff picture (if things break wrong).The second half of the doubleheader kicks off at 7:20 PM Central, and can also be seen on the NFL Network.If you’re going to be watching these games anyway, you could just as well come and hang out with your fellow Vikings fans while you do so. Enjoy the games, ladies and gentlemen, and we’ll have more for you on the clash between the Vikings and the Lions up until kickoff. The Minnesota Vikings certainly haven’t gotten off to the start that any of us would like this season. Because of that, as you’d expect, the confidence of the fans in the direction of the team has dropped significantly over the course of the past couple of weeks. (Sign up here to take our weekly Vikings survey)Following their loss to the Los Angeles Rams that dropped the purple to 1-2-1 on the young season Ben Gedeon Jersey , the FanPulse survey shows that confidence in the team has dropped. . .but only slightly, particularly compared to the drop from the previous week. Today, only one out of every three fans (33%) is confident in the direction of the Minnesota Vikings.Honestly, I’m not sure how much lower it can get, folks. I know that there are a group that are eternally optimistic about this team, and Mike Zimmer pointed out recently that how the team starts isn’t necessarily an indicator of how they finish. After all, the 2016 Vikings started out 5-0 and ended 8-8, while last year’s squad started 2-2 and finished 13-3. It’s a long season Cameron Smith Minnesota Vikings Jerseys , and I have a feeling we’ll start seeing that number trend upwards before too much longer here.That 33% mark, however, puts Vikings fans at the bottom of the NFC North in terms of confidence. Even lower than the Detroit Lions, the one team behind the Vikings in the division standings, who are at 35% this week.Bit of a roller coaster there for the Lions, eh?Green Bay fans are still relatively confident in the direction of their favorite team after pitching a shutout against the same Buffalo Bills team that shellacked the Vikings in Week 3. Packer fans’ confidence in their team currently sits at 60%, which is not great, but compared to Minnesota and Detroit it’s pretty damn good.Of course Minnesota Vikings Jerseys 2019 , the NFC North fan base that’s the most confidence is the one with the most reason to be confident, the Chicago Bears. A full 96% of Bears fans are currently confident in the direction of their team. It’s not quite as high as Vikings’ fans confidence early in the season (which topped out at 98%), but it’s still awfully impressive for a team that I don’t think most of us expected a lot from.I really, sincerely hope that the Vikings give us some more reason for optimism here in the relatively near future. It would be nice to see the numbers go up again.
