The Vikings could be in for a difficult transitional season this year.
This could be a long season for the Vikings. They're in a year of transition at the quarterback position, so the 2024 outlook was always going to be less-than-rosy once they let Kirk Cousins walk in free agency. But Minnesota's odds of making the postseason are even slimmer due toMost strength of schedule rankings go by the previous-year records of each opponent on the slate. That can be interesting, but it doesn't take into account the changes that have occurred over the offseason.
It really hurt the Vikings that they "won" the tiebreaker with the Bears in last season's standings. Both teams finished 7-10, and it came down to a common games tiebreaker that gave the Vikings a third-place finish in the NFC North. That means that in addition to six divisional games, four against the NFC West, and four against the AFC South, the Vikings are facing the third-place teams from the NFC South, NFC East, and AFC East. Those are the Falcons, Giants, and Jets.
By finishing in last place, the Bears get to face the Commanders, Panthers, and Patriots this season. Those teams won ten games combined last season and have projected win totals of 6.5, 4.5, and 4.5. Because they get those three teams and play the Vikings twice, the Bears actually have the third-easiest schedule in Sharp's rankings.
