Eagles vs Vikings Guest Expert Predictions

Point Spread Pick
MIN Vikings +1.5(-110)

There are issues on both sides for this NFC matchup on Sunday in Minneapolis. Starting with the defending Super Bowl champion Eagles, they started 4-0 out of the gate but trouble hit paradise following consecutive losses to the Broncos and Giants. Philadelphia ranks 29th in passing offense in the league and QB Jalen Hurts has thrown for fewer than 200 yards 4 times. Interestingly enough, Hurts’ 2 best passing games came in the losses the past 2 weeks, capped off by a season-high 283 yards in a 34-17 defeat to the Giants.

Minnesota is back from the bye week with questions at the quarterback position. J.J. McCarthy is hoping to return to the lineup after missing the last 3 games with an ankle injury, while former Eagle Carson Wentz is dealing with a shoulder injury. Wentz started the last 3 games, including the past 2 in Europe. The Vikings dropped a 24-21 decision to the Steelers in Dublin but rallied late to beat the Browns in London, 21-17. Wentz posted 350 passing yards in the loss to Pittsburgh, while completing 73.5% of his pass attempts against Cleveland.

The Vikings are 1 of the 4 teams with a winning record in the competitive NFC North at 3-2. The Eagles still lead the NFC East at 4-2 despite having a point differential of -1 on the season. Philadelphia is 2-1 on the road, which includes the impressive 31-25 victory at Tampa Bay in Week 4. The Eagles have yet to be an underdog this season, as they are 3-3 against the spread as favorites. Minnesota is receiving points for the first time in 2025, going 3-2 ATS this season. The Vikings went 3-1 both SU and ATS in 2024 in the underdog role, including a 2-0 SU/ATS mark at home.

Game Totals Pick
Under 43.5(-110)

No matter who is starting at quarterback for the Vikings this Sunday, whether it’s J.J. McCarthy or Carson Wentz, don’t expect a lot of offense. Minnesota has scored 21 or fewer points in 3 of 5 games this season, while putting up a total of 3 offensive touchdowns in the first half. The Vikings cashed the over in each of their 2 overseas games, but both on low totals of 41 and 36. In each of those contests the touchdown that hit the over came in the final two minutes, including with 25 seconds left in the victory over Cleveland.

The Eagles are 3-3 to the over, with 2 of those cashing away from Lincoln Financial Field. Following an under in the Week 2 triumph at Kansas City, Philadelphia sailed over the total 2 weeks later in their 31-25 victory at Tampa Bay on a 44 total. Last Thursday night, the Giants torched the Eagles for 34 points; that game easily hit the Over in a 34-17 win by New York. The Vikings rank sixth in the NFL in yards allowed per game at 289.5, facing a Philadelphia offense that is third worst in the league in yards per game (274.5).

Last season, Eagles RB Saquon Barkley rushed for 658 yards through the first 6 games. This season that number has been sliced in half, as he has posted 325 yards on the ground and just 1 game with at least 75 rushing yards. Minnesota has yielded at least 99 rushing yards to 3 different running backs. The Vikings closed last season ranking second in the NFL in rushing yards allowed per game but have slipped to 24th this season. I don’t think we’ll see explosive plays in this game and these teams may rely on the run and milk clock. Let’s look at the under.
