The Minnesota Vikings'(1-0) meet the Philadelphia Eagles (1-0) with the lights turned up bright on Monday Night Football. Kickoff at Lincoln Financial Field is at 8:30 p.m. ET (ABC) and is part of a Monday night doubleheader. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Vikings vs. Eagles odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.
The Vikings are coming off a Week 1 humbling of perennial NFC North big dog the Green Bay Packers with a 23-7 domination that had Aaron Rodgers telling the Packers fanatics to R-E-L-A-X 2.0.
While the Eagles’ 38-35 Week 1 win at Detroit doesn’t look dominant, it should be noted the Eagles had a 17-point lead with 20 minutes to play and went into “kill the clock” mode.
Whoever wins this game, especially given the injury-related struggles of the Packers and Dallas Cowboys, is going to shoot up the hundreds of of power rankings that dot the night sky and be able to plant their flag as being a team to be reckoned with in a thin NFC race for the top spot.
