In this article we will formulate a Philadelphia Eagles vs Minnesota Vikings prediction for this NFL Preseason game on Saturday, August 24th at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Let’s take a look at the prediction for this preseason battle in week three.
Philadelphia Eagles Betting Preview
The Philadelphia Eagles are 2-0 this preseason after they defeated New England by a score of 14-13 in their last game. Philadelphia trailed 13-6 late in the fourth quarter, but they scored a touchdown and got the two point conversion for the win. The Eagles out gained New England by a total of 283-159 and forced two turnovers in the win. Tanner McKee threw for 140 yards, while Kenny Pickett added 67 yards and Will Grier added 35. Joseph Ngata caught five passes for 88 yards in the win. Philadelphia defeated Baltimore by a score of 16-13 in their first game.
Philadelphia was 0-2-1 in the 2023 preseason, which started with a 20-19 loss over Baltimore. The Eagles tied the Browns at 18 in their second game and lost 27-13 against the Colts in their third game. It is unclear if Jalen Hurts will play at all in this game, but either way we should see plenty of Pickett, McKee, and Grier.
Minnesota Vikings Betting Preview
The Minnesota Vikings are 2-0 this preseason after they defeated the Cleveland Browns by a score of 27-12 in their last game. Minnesota led 13-7 at the half, and they were able to pull away in the second half for the win. The Vikings out gained Cleveland by a total of 303-288 and forced three turnovers in the game. Nick Mullens threw for 135 yards and one score, while Jaren Hall threw for 87 yards and two touchdowns. Jeshaun Jones caught one pass for 71 yards and a touchdown in the win. Minnesota defeated Las Vegas by a score of 24-23 in their first preseason game.
Minnesota went 0-3 in the 2023 preseason, which started with a 24-13 loss against Seattle. The Vikings lost to Tennessee by a score of 24-16 in the second game and they lost to Arizona by a score of 18-17 in the finale. We may see Sam Darnold under center for a series or two, but the bulk of the work will be with Mullens and Hall under center.
Philadelphia Eagles vs Minnesota Vikings Prediction
Both of these teams have started the preseason with two wins and they will look to go 3-3 with a victory in this matchup. The Vikings have been very high scoring in their first two games and Hall/Mullens looked very good last week. Philadelphia has won their two games by a total margin of four points and I just don’t love their backup quarterback options. We have seen Mullens and Hall play for the Vikings in the regular season, which has translated to success so far in the preseason. My Philadelphia Eagles vs Minnesota Vikings prediction is for the Vikings to get another win.
