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

That could change in the next four weeks.

With so many division games to close out the year I seriously doubt it.  Beating a divisional foe hands them an additional loss which doesn’t help your strength of victory much unless your divisional foe is significantly over .500. No other team in either division is better than 6-6 at the moment.  

When your division rivals play each other, it adds both a win and a loss to your strength of victory which again doesn’t do much for you.  An 11 win lead with 4 games to go with each having at least 2 division games left is a stranglehold as far as strength of victory goes.

The only chance the Eagles have with the strength of victory tie breaker is if they beat the Rams this weekend and the Vikings also lose to the Panthers this weekend but they still both finish the year tied with the same overall and conference record with the Vikings winning out after losing to the Panthers and the Eagles losing to either the Giants or Cowboys after beating the Rams.  That Rams win total being added to the Eagles strength of victory would be huge, but only if the Vikes also drop to the Panthers.  Otherwise you’d have to see a complete collapse by every team the Vikings beat this season.
