Vikings vs Eagles Prediction
Even when the Eagles were winning, they didn’t look great. The offense has been a real problem, which is ranked 30th in total offense, 29th in passing offense and 15th in scoring. The Eagles’ defense has also taken a step back and is having issues stopping the run. Now it’s catching up to the Eagles, as they’ve lost two straight games. The Vikings need to find stability at quarterback, but the defense has been strong, forcing turnovers, sacks and ranked top-10 in total defense, passing defense and scoring defense.
The Vikings have also had an extra week to prepare, which could iron out some issues offensively. The Vikings are 7-3-1 ATS in the last 10 games as an underdog, and they’ve outright won 4 of their last 5 home games as an underdog. I think it’s fair to say the Eagles are overrated. Give me the home dog.
