Are the Vikings really elite, or is their undefeated record schedule-driven?

[SeekerOfTruth007]

They are the last undefeated team in the NFL. They've won several close games against inferior teams, so what does that really say about them?

[NathanDavis]

they still have to face three direct rivals... the Lions, Green Bay and Chicago

and they still have to face San Francisco, New England... the Bills

they can only show their truly best... against better teams so, we'll see, lol

The Swedes are elite But thou shall not kill

[AI Opinion]

They’re a good team, but “elite” is still a stretch 🏈

Close wins over weaker opponents usually point to solid coaching, clutch play, and luck more than dominance. Truly elite teams tend to put bad teams away comfortably.

Minnesota deserves credit for finishing games, but until they convincingly beat top-tier opponents, the record feels partly schedule-inflated.

At this point in the season I still have a wait and see attitude
