How do intradivisional tiebreakers work in the NFL?

I'm seeing the Vikings have the 1 seed now on some sites. They are both 10-2, both with 1 AFC loss and 1 NFC loss. But the Vikings have a divisional loss and the Eagles don't, and Eagles have a higher point differential, so what gives? Everything I look up discusses interdivisional tiebreakers which doesn't really apply.

Believe these are the tie-breakers. Not sure what separates Minnesota though 
1.Head-to-head (if applicable).
2.Best win percentage in games played within the conference.
3.Best win percentage in common games (minimum of four).
4.Strength of victory.
5.Strength of schedule.
6.Best combined ranking in the conference in points scored and points allowed.
7.Best combined ranking across the NFL in points scored and points allowed.
8.Best net points in conference games.
9.Best net points in all games.
10. Best net touchdowns in all games.
11.Coin toss.

Right now it goes to strength of victory, which the Vikings win.

Ok thanks for that. Still don't get why Minny's ahead because Eagles have a higher differential. I'm assuming that's what strength of victory means which comes before strength of schedule which would be in the Vikings favor. They don't have 4 common opponents because NFC North plays NFC South this year and they haven't played head to head, and as I've mentioned their conference records are identical. So it should still be Philly as #1 with that criteria correct?

Minn has a better SOS and SOV, so I'd assume it's that.
Edit: SOV is not point differential. It's the winning % of the teams you've beaten.

Is this for a division tiebreaker or outside the division tiebreaker? Because Vikings have a division loss to the Lions, Eagles are undefeated in their division. And what is strength of victory? Because the Eagles have a higher differential.

Then what's strength of schedule? Seems like winning percentage of the teams you played would be what that is and how bad you beat them is strength of victory.
Edit: Nm I thought about it for 2 seconds and came up with the answer lol. I'm guessing SOV is winning % of teams you've BEATEN and SOS is all the teams you've PLAYED (including losses)? If so then that makes sense

see my edit, I grabbed the wrong one initially.
It goes
h2h, Not applicable
Conf record, which is currently tied
record against common opponents (Min 4), currently not applicable.
Strength of victory, Vikings...I just eyeballed it really, Vikings seem to have beaten the better teams
