The Vikings are not nearly as great as people think they are. So far their opponents record is 45-69. That's .395. 4 wins against teams with 2 wins or less.
A loss against a Pittsburgh team that has no running game. Supposedly the perfect type of team for their defense to play. Barely winning against a suspect Baltimore team. A team that had to go to overtime to beat a Steelers team that was without the vaunted Troy Polamalu and starting it's 3rd string QB. Barely beating the Niners. Let's not look at these teams as how good people thought they were when they played the Vikings, but how bad they have turned out to be. That means only 2 wins against quality opponents, the Packers. Since Green Bay can't run the ball or protect the QB, how much quality is that.
The remaining schedule is Arizona, Cincinnati, Carolina, Chicago and the Giants. I can see 2, maybe 4 losses there. The Cardinals and Bengals are the best teams they will play all year. Chicago is in Chicago.
