Minnesota won in total yards 349 to 322 and the third down defense went 12-for-15. The Vikings turned the ball over twice and went 2-for-2 in the red zone.

Philadelphia Eagles

Minnesota Vikings

Philadelphia is currently ranked 29th in passing yards, 25th in rushing yards, 15th in points scored, and 19th in points against. The Eagles' offense is struggling because it has become predictable. Sure, the tush push is still working at the goal line and other close first downplays, but the running game is starting to get stuffed more, and the passing game can't seem to get their receiving depth going. Plus, in the last two losses, the Eagles have been outscored in the second half 32-7. Both sides of the ball will look to figure things out.

Minnesota is currently tied for 19th in passing yards, 21st in rushing yards, 12th in points scored, and fifth in points against. J.J. McCarthy might start this game, but for now it's all about Carson Wentz, who was just 25 of 34, for 236 yards and one touchdown in the win over the Browns. The defense has been aggressive and will look to try to line up well against most of the Eagles' creative plays. The Vikings have been in a bit of a win-loss mode, and they were able to keep pace with scoring in last week's win. Minnesota can match the Eagles' depth on offense, and they just need consistency from their quarterback.

Best Bet: Over

The Eagles' offense has been stuck at 17 points for two weeks in a row and the defense is trending down. Philly had a few extra days off to prepare for this game and hopefully figure things out on offense. The Vikings have some good receivers that can go off against the struggling Eagles defense.
