I live in the Twin Cities and I can assure you that the Vikings, sans 1998, have ALWAYS played to the level of their competition. There is no need to analyze their schedule.

Can you elaborate as to why there would be no need to analyze their schedule while trying to determine how many wins they will have? Perhaps you think an opponent has little effect on the probability of winning a game. This would be supported by your assertion that the Vikings play to the level of their competition, thereby negating any effect that the competition has on the outcome of the game. Can you provide statistics showing how the Vikings' chance to win a game is uncorrelated from how good their opponent is for the last 8 years?
