Can someone explain how the Vikings are currently edged out over the Eagles?

For the #1 seed in the NFC? I understand the tiebreaking procedures are used from the following link:

http://www.nfl.com/standings/tiebreakingprocedures

I know for them, you would use the "to break a tiebreaker for the wild card team" because thats what you use still for 2 division title leaders with the same record.

So using that, I understand, it goes all the way to #4 which is strength of victory between them. (#1 is not applicable, #2 is even, #3 is not enough games from what I looked at. So it comes to #4). I understand strength of victory is defined as figured by calculating the combined winning percentage of the opponents a team has beaten. So for example, i[font=Arial,]f team A has two victories (one with a 8-8 record and another with a 0-16 record), its strength of victory is 0.250. (Also how do you get .250 for this?) If team B has also two wins (over opponents that are 8-8 and 12-4), then its strength of victory is 0.625.[/font]

[font=Arial,]Right? So are the records for their opponents for that based off this year? Can someone break it down between the Vikings and Eagles so I can see it written down to understand why the Vikings edged them out? Just like to understand it all.[/font]
