Thank you for giving the vikings some respect unlike espn Also how are the saints not last? they lost to the chiefs at home
well, it's not really 'me' giving them respect, it's my formula........ which is one of the advantages of a statistical formula ranking. there are no preconceived notions or biases. it doesn't know that the vikings were 'supposed' to suck this season. it literally just measures performance on the field and results and the vikings have certainly earned a high ranking with their performance on the field this season.
