Eagles vs Vikings odds
The Eagles open up as slight home favorites here. The roaring Lincoln Financial Field will certainly play a role in this.
Minnesota kicked off their season with a convincing win over the Green Bay Packers. Justin Jefferson ripped the secondary to shreds and the backfield combined for 126 total yards, while the defense looked stout in all three phases.
As for Philadelphia, the offense put up 31 points against Detorit, A.J Brown proved why he’s a $100M man, and the defense decided to forget how to tackle, giving the Lions a lifeline.
A 2.5 point spread feels fair here. Realistically, the Vikings have two excellent safeties, but question marks at the CB2 spot behind Cam Dantzler. Containing both DeVonta Smith and A.J Brown is going to be no easy task, which should at least give Hurts and the Eagles a chance to go toe-to-toe with Jefferson.
Betting prediction
There’s not a whole lot to like on the spread at this point. I think betting the over 48 points would be the way to go right now. If the Eagles defense wobbles as it did on Sunday then it’s going to be a long night for fans. Their offensive pacing is going to force Hurts and company to keep step, which should lead to an abundance of scoring.
