The Vikings have played four teams with winning records, going 2-2 in those games. They have also played five teams with 3 wins or fewer, winning all of them.The Packers have also played four teams with winning records, going 4-0 in those games. But they've only seen two teams with 3 wins or fewer, winning both. That's the difference right now. While the Vikings have had the Falcons (3-7), Redskins (1-9), and Giants (2-8), the Packers have had the Panthers (5-5) and Chargers (4-6). The Vikings have one more game under their belt now as the Packers are on their bye and the Vikings are heading into theirs. That's why we're comparing three teams to two.But this will reverse course in fairly short order. After the 49ers (9-1), the Packers have games against three more teams with 3 or fewer wins (Giants, Redskins, and Lions), plus the reeling 4-6 Bears. The Vikings themselves will be the only remaining quality opponent. The Vikings will only have one such game remaining (the Lions) as they've played the bottom-feeding teams already.All of that to say that it will be interesting to revisit this at season's end and see how the schedule shift affected the results.</blockquote>
