2015 Strength of Schedule

Post by MusicCityViking »

Based on opponent win % in 2014, the Vikings have the:

12th toughest overall schedule (.539 2014 opponent win %)

10th toughest home schedule (.547 2014 opponent win %)

13th toughest away schedule (.531 2014 opponent win %)

I know the teams we play will change quite a bit in the offseason, but this is still useful to see what we're up against this coming season.

Heard of it and drove past it a few times, but I've never been inside.

Go during football season. Its all vikings fans, a fun place to watch the games and they have a solid burger. I remember watching Greg Lewis catch that pass from Favre in the back of the endzone and the whole place went nuts. It was like being at the game. Lots of fun.

The Vikings play the NFC West next season. The 49ers are in that division. They will be significantly worse in 2015 -- most likely. I always take these with a grain of salt.

The NFC west is one of the best divisions.

Even if SF falls downward every team would
be a playoff team or very close IMO

No I didn't mean it that way, I was just stating my opinion about the strength of the NFC west in general.

I do think the Niners are going the wrong direction, In fact I would be surprised if they don't win more than six games
this year

Its a bar so they don't allow kids. Also it does get a bit smokey at times which stinks, but there is an outdoor area where you can watch the game and play outdoor volleyball and horseshoes.

Pre-season SOS is about as useful as a pre-season Power ranking. Both of which are as useful as a screen door on a submarine.
