Ten of the 17 teams have winning records, but that does include five games against teams who went 9-8. All in all, it looks like a fairly manageable schedule on paper, but a lot can change from one season to the next.

The opponents who have been set for a while are the eight NFC West and AFC South teams, plus six games against teams in the Vikings' own division.

The Vikings finished third in the NFC North due to a common games tiebreaker with the Bears, meaning they'll play three other third-place teams. Had the Bears beaten the Packers on Sunday, the Vikings would've finished last and gotten to face the Panthers (2-15), Patriots (4-13), and Commanders (4-13) instead of the Falcons, Jets, and Giants.
