Sports Wrap, Jan. 1: Vikings-Lions preview
When the Vikings are getting set to play in one of the biggest regular season games in their storied history, it’s surely time for a bonus Sports Wrap.
Typically, it’s every Sunday night at 9:35 p.m. on 45-TV and 10:35 p.m. on KSTP-TV Channel 5, that our Joe Schmit, Chris Long, and Darren ‘Doogie’ Wolfson go back-and-forth on Sports Wrap. Alec Ausmus has filled in for Schmit this week.
But with the 1-seed at stake Sunday night in Detroit, we decided to preview the matchup with a midweek Sports Wrap.

The winner Sunday night takes the NFC North and gets a first-round playoff bye and home-field advantage until the Super Bowl.
The loser becomes the No. 5 seed and must play on the road in the wild-card round. The Lions hold the tiebreaker if the teams enter with identical records and play to a tie.
