- Over/Under: 50.5 Points
The Vikings know they have a great chance to win the division for the first time since 2017 and they got off to the best possible start by beating their direct rivals and favorites to take first place: the Packers.
A strong performance by wide receiver Justin Jefferson, who recorded 184 yards and two touchdowns, was key for Minnesota to show off in front of its fans and gain important momentum before visiting the Eagles. The Vikings’ offensive trident worked to perfection as quarterback Kirk Cousins finished with 277 yards through the air and two TDs thrown to Jefferson, while running back Dalvin Cook added 90 more yards.
The offense was backed up to perfection by the defense, which stopped a confused Aaron Rodgers, who was hampered by his receiver problems and could only score seven points for his team. This Monday, when they take on Philadelphia, the Vikings must retool their strategy as Jalen Hurts is a totally different QB thanks to his ability to run with the ovoid.
Betting on the Philadelphia Eagles
- Regular Season Record: 1-0
- Spread: -2.0
- Moneyline: -130
- Over/Under: 50.5 Points
After their win over the Lions and the Cowboys’ loss, which added to the loss of Dak Prescott, the Eagles are the favorites to take the NFC East lead this season.
Led by the young Hurts, Philadelphia emerged victorious from a points battle that saw the quarterback rack up 243 yards through the air and 90 on the ground, including a touchdown. The aerial combination with A.J. Brown also got off to a good start after the receiver gained 155 yards and the ground attack totaled another 216 with five touchdowns.
As for the defensive side, here could be the team’s doubts. In every quarter they conceded seven-point touchdowns to Detroit and accepted 386 total yards. A performance that against a more complete team like Minnesota they could pay for with a loss at home.
JefeBet Prediction
Both the Vikings and Eagles showed great offensive capability in the first week of the season. Both teams have the weapons to be able to do damage through the air and on the ground and while Minnesota’s defense held the Packers back, in Philadelphia the fight will be much closer and with touchdowns.
Prediction: Over.
