Packers (-12.5) to cover against the Bears.Lions (-8.5) to cover against the Broncos.Pete Prisco (1-2 last week in picks featured here) The three guys spent nearly 60 minutes going over the best bets for every single game, and we're going to cover three of each person's picks below. (Seriously, you can WATCH the podcast.) You can also check out our takeaways from the game by clicking here. To listen to or watch today's episode on YouTube, be sure to click here. If I had to make a pick now, I'd say yes. The Vikings feel like a team that can beat anyone, but they also feel like a team that could LOSE to anyone, so it's hard to predict whether they'll end up in the playoffs. As for the Vikings, they're now just a half game out of the final two wild card spots in the NFC with San Francisco (6-6) and Washington (6-6) ahead of them.

The AFC is so stacked that it seems like it's going to take 10 wins to get in and for the Steelers to hit that number, they'd have to go 4-0 down the stretch, which won't be easy because they close the season with the Titans, Chiefs, Browns and Ravens. With the loss, the Steelers fell to the 10th seed in the AFC and at 6-6-1 it feels highly unlikely that they're going to get in the playoffs. Steelers' playoff hopes on life support, Vikings in a good spot.If the Steelers had pulled off the comeback, it would have been the largest regular-season comeback in NFL history. The ball was IN Freiermuth's hands, which you can see by clicking here. The Steelers had a chance to tie the game on the final play after driving down to Minnesota's 12-yard line, but Harrison Smith broke up a pass from Ben Roethlisberger that was intended for tight end Pat Freiermuth. The Steelers' comeback was helped by the fact that Kirk Cousins threw two interceptions in the second half. In a wild sequence that started at the 2:11 mark of the third quarter, the Steelers scored three touchdowns in a five-minute span that cut the Vikings' lead to 29-20 (The Steelers went for two on their third touchdown, but didn't get it). Steelers almost pull off improbable comeback. With three minutes left in the third quarter, the Vikings were leading 29-0 and the game basically looked like it was over, but this is the Vikings we're talking about, so you know know things got crazy.The third-down conversion forced the Steelers to use all of their timeouts before the two-minute warning. Cook also had one catch in the game and it was a huge one: He caught a 17-yard pass on third-and-9 late in the fourth quarter that gave the Vikings a pivotal first down. Cook did most of his damage in the first half, rushing for 153 yards, which set the Vikings franchise record for most rush yards in a first half. Not even a shoulder harness could stop Cook as he rushed for 205 yards and two touchdowns on 27 carries. Dalvin Cook dominates. Three hours before Thursday's game kicked off, it wasn't even clear if Dalvin Cook was going to play and I'm guessing the Steelers wished that he hadn't played and that's because he absolutely steamrolled Pittsburgh's defense.

Here are a few key aspects of the game that we touched on: The only thing wilder than the game was the podcast that I recorded afterward with Ryan Wilson and Will Brinson. In one of the wildest games you'll ever see, the Vikings almost blew a 29-0 lead, but they ended up holding on for a 36-28 victory.

We'll be going over the game in more detail in today's newsletter, plus we'll be taking a look at the unexpected death of former Broncos receiver Demaryius Thomas, who tragically died on Thursday. The Vikings had to hold on for dear life in the fourth quarter, but they ended up coming away with a 36-28 win, which is good news for Mike Zimmer, because I'm 75% sure he would have been fired immediately after the game if the Vikings had lost. At one point in last night's game, the Vikings led 29-0 and if any other team was playing, I would have gone to bed, but if there's any team in the NFL capable of blowing a 29-0 lead, it's definitely the Vikings and it almost happened. Let me start things off here by saying that if we learned one thing from Thursday night's game, it's that you should never turn off a Vikings game until it's actually over and although I think we actually learned that earlier this year, it's definitely a rule that we all need to now live by.
