Will the Vikings just bench key starters or will they go all out for a win?

Looking at the opening line of Vikes -1, I'm assuming Vegas has info that they are resting starters.

They don't deserve rest. Besides, they can use the game to get themselves together.

If I’m the Vikings I want to lose. For one it hurts your rivals because they won’t get the top pick, then you get the giants who are easier to beat than the packers. Take your chances with packers vs 49ers.

Dont think the Vikes should be aiming to play a road game against the Eagles/Niners/Cowboys.

It's the same answer every year.
They'll rest starters or in an absolute blowout, either way, else, no.

Do you work for the dmv? Were you against our preserving a high draft pick today whether or not we trade down?

That wouldn’t be until the nfc championship game and it would be against the eagles. Unless of course the Niners beat the packers. But, the Vikings now also need the niners to lose next week for their win to matter which is a long shot.

The Bears won’t have NFL starters playing either.

The NFL will likely move the bears/queens to the late afternoon game playing same time as sf (and likely nyg/phil + dal/wash) as those games are tied together for seeds 1-2-3-5
Prob put jax/tenn as sun night game and gb/det as sat night game with some other relevant afc game sat day

No. If 2, 3 and 4 win the Wild Card round then Vikings as a 3 seed would have to play the Niners as a 2 seed on the road in Divisiobal Round. Then they would have to go on road again for NFC Championship if Eagles advance.

The Bears barely have any players that would start on other teams and most of those guys are already injured and out. The Vikes dont need to play starters to win this one.

Right so not sure why they would rest players.

1. Dodge the packers in round 1 /2 and get a weaker opponent in the giants.
2. Probably won’t get the 2nd seed even if they win. So use this as a bye to get healthy.
3. Cause their division rival to lose the top pick is icing on the cake.
Not saying they for sure will but it’s definitely a possibility. Other side of the coin is maybe they need a get right game after that beat down?
Vegas seems to think they are going to rest people.
