Philadelphia Eagles at Minnesota Vikings Preview & Picks

Minnesota are tipped to cover as a slight home underdog.

The Vikings offense is hardly prolific, but Brian Flores’ lockdown defense is more than capable of slowing down a limited Eagles offense to, at the very least, keep this close.

  • Minnesota Vikings are 8-3-0 ATS in their last 11 home games
  • Minnesota Vikings are 3-1-0 ATS in their last 4 games as a betting underdog
  • The Over has cashed in 3 of Philadelphia’s last 4 games
  • The Over has hit in 4 of Minnesota’s 5 games this season

Head To Head

  • Philadelphia Eagles lead the all-time series 16-15
  • Philadelphia Eagles won 34-28 when the two teams last met in September 2023

Philadelphia Eagles Form

Philadelphia head out on the road looking to snap a two-game losing skid that has halted their early-season momentum.

The defending champion Eagles opened with a 24-20 win at home Dallas, and then headed to Kansas City to win a Super Bowl rematch with the Chiefs, 20-17.

Their winning start continued at home as they beat the Los Angeles Rams 33-26, and then reached four games with a 31-25 victory at Tampa Bay.

Philadelphia were unable to make it to 5-0 though, as their perfect start was ended by a 21-17 home loss to Denver.

That became back-to-back defeats last time out, as they suffered a shock 34-17 road defeat at the hands of the New York Giants.

Minnesota Vikings Form

Minnesota return from the bye week looking to develop some consistency, having gone 3-2 through their first five games.

The Vikings enjoyed a successful start to the season as they came from behind to beat the Bears in Chicago, 27-24.

They failed to build on that a week later as they fell 22-6 at home to Atlanta, but they did rebound the following week with a 48-10 demolition of Cincinnati.

Minnesota then travelled to Dublin for an historic matchup with Pittsburgh, only to return back to the US empty-handed as they were beaten 24-21 by the Steelers.

The Vikings again avoided back-to-back losses though, as they beat the Browns 21-17 in Cleveland before the bye week.

Verdict

Minnesota are hardly models of consistency, but Philly are mired in a slump and the offense is struggling.

This Vikings defense is no pushover and can cause all sorts of problems for Jalen Hurts, so we are taking the hosts and the free points.
