A summary that ties it all together and produces a favorable betting outcome for the Eagles vs Vikings game
The defending champion Eagles opened up the year on a nice run but they’ve hit some troubled waters lately. Philly posted four straight wins over the Cowboys, Chiefs, Rams and Buccaneers to kick things off, but then took a 21-17 home loss versus the Denver Broncos in game five. In that matchup Philly went a rough 2-of-11 on third-down conversions with just 16 first downs alongside nine overall team penalties. Denver committed 12 penalties themselves but still powered out the win on the strength of 358 total yards.
Last Thursday versus the rival New York Giants, the Eagles took another defeat. Philadelphia was trailing by three points at the break then failed to score from there in a rough road loss 34-17. Jalen Hurts logged a 24-of-33 line for 283 yards, one TD and one pick. Saquon Barkley had a tepid 58 yards on 12 carries as the team’s leading rusher and Dallas Goedert topped the receivers with nine grabs for 110 yards and a score. Hurts also tallied a rush touchdown, but it wasn’t enough for the win.
Over on the Vikings’ side, they’ve been alternating wins with losses this year, going .500 through their first four outings. Minnesota took out the Chicago Bears by three points in the opener, then lost to the Atlanta Falcons 22-6. After that came a blowout win over the Cincinnati Bengals and a three-point loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. In that defeat the Vikings went just 4-of-14 on third-down tries and had two interceptions along with eight penalties for 82 yards total.
In their latest outing versus the Cleveland Browns back on October 5, the Vikings were able to get back into the win column. Minnesota faced a three-point deficit heading into the final quarter, but notched a late TD to come out on top 21-17. QB Carson Wentz logged a 25-of-34 line for 236 yards and a TD, and top rusher Jordan Mason had 13 totes for 52 yards and a score. Justin Jefferson added seven catches for 123 yards as the team’s leading receiver in the victory effort.
I’ll lean toward the Eagles. Philly really needs to get something going after consecutive losses, and this is a good place to get a road victory—even with Minnesota coming off an open week. The Eagles were miserable on third downs in their loss to the Giants, going just 1-of-9 alongside a pair of turnovers. The defense allowed New York to go 11-of-16 on third downs themselves along with 25 first downs and 366 total yards. That makes 17 points scored in consecutive weeks for the Eagles, following 20 or more in each of the first three games.
As for Minnesota, they’ll be rested up and ready for this home matchup so it won’t exactly be a cakewalk. The Vikings held Cleveland to just 3-of-15 on third downs in their latest outing, which helped offset a couple of lost fumbles. Minnesota needs to play a complete game here but I think they’ll be competitive. In the end however, I like the Eagles to assert themselves and power out a nice-looking road cover.
