Will the Vikings Exceed Expectations on the Road?
To open the season, the Vikings started by having the Buccaneers as their guests. Unfortunately, they began with a 0-1 record following a 20-17 loss. With the 3-point loss to the Buccaneers, the Vikings also took a loss against the spread while failing to cover as 4-point favorites.
In their matchup against the Buccaneers, the Vikings ran the ball 17 times, with Alexander Mattison emerging as the top rusher with 34 yards. In the passing game, Kirk Cousins finished with 344 yards and a passer rating of 102.
Defensively, the Vikings finished the game with one sack and one interception. The team’s secondary gave up 169 passing yards, while their rush defense allowed 73 rushing yards.
Can the Eagles Hold Strong at Home?
The Eagles hit the road in their first game, taking on the Patriots and winning by a score of 25-20. Given that they were favored by 3.5 against the Patriots, the Eagles picked up an ATS win despite some nervous moments in the final minutes.
On offense, Jalen Hurts ended with 170 passing yards on a completion rate of 66%. On the ground, the Eagles ran the ball 25 times, amassing 97 yards. The team converted four third-downs at a rate of 30.8%.
On the defensive side, the Eagles allowed 382 yards of total offense to New England. Among these yards, 76 were given up on the ground, while the team’s secondary gave up 306 yards through 54 attempts.
Eagles vs. Vikings Player Prop
Looking ahead to his game against Minnesota, Jalen Hurts is being given a passing yards prop of 249.5. At present, the payout for exceeding this number is -117, while it’s -115 for staying under it.
So far, Hurts has thrown for 170 yards on 33 attempts in that one game against the Patriots last week. Overall, he has completed 66.7% of his passes for a passer rating of 89.2. Considering that Minnesota’s defense has been able to apply pressure up-front so far, I’m taking the under on Hurts’ passing prop.
There’s also a chance that game flow has the Eagles running the ball more than usual while stepping in as home favorites.

Eagles vs. Vikings Predictions
When the lines opened Philadelphia was the 7.0-point favorites at home. Subsequently, the oddsmakers adjusted the lines to favor them at -6.5.
The Vikings’ defense is coming off a decent performance, giving up just 242 yards of offense, and should build on this vs. the Eagles. Despite entering as 7-point underdogs on the road, I like Minnesota to cover the spread, especially with plenty of weapons on offense to keep scoring with the Eagles. There’s always a chance that the Vikings score a late, otherwise meaningless touchdown to cover the spread.
The Pick: Vikings +7 | -112 at Fanduel Sportsbook
