Maybe it's the Packer fan in me, but I don't think the Vikings are legit, I think they will come back to earth. A 5-0 start will ensure they probably end with at least 10 wins, but watching their games the past 2 weeks they haven't looked super sharp, especially this second half after Aaron Jones got hurt.
I think their coaching staff and scheme is legit. Losing Jones is big for them. Even if they come back down to earth, other than the Lions games and remaining Packers game, their schedule is very easy.

Yeah, I am figuring a first round exit is in their cards.

If they keep pulling wins out of a hat they might get the first round bye. But we saw the Eagles start 8-0 last year and win a few games they definitely should have lost and then come back down to earth in the second half. Lose the first seed and get smacked in the first round. I think the Vikings are better than I thought they were. I still think they are the 3rd best team in that division and maybe the 6th or 7th best in the conference.
