The 4-2 Philadelphia Eagles have lost two straight games and will try to prevent a continued downward spiral against the Minnesota Vikings at U.S. Bank Stadium, the site of the Eagles’ first Super Bowl win. Kickoff is scheduled for 1:00 p.m. EST.
The Eagles are getting healthier, with interior defensive lineman Jalen Carter, cornerback Quinyon Mitchell, and left guard Landon Dickerson all returning to the field. You can find the Eagles-Vikings inactives here.
Minnesota will be quarterbacked by Carson Wentz, who is 2-1 in three starts for the Vikings so far this season. As noted in our Eagles-Vikings preview, Wentz looks a whole lot like the player we saw after his MVP-caliber season in 2017. In Minnesota, Wentz has the luxury of throwing to one of the best wide receiver duos in the NFL—Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison.
On the other side of the ball, the Vikings have struggled with run defense this season. This presents another opportunity for the Eagles to try to jump-start their rushing attack.
The Eagles are 1.5-point favorites for this matchup. For those interested in betting, you can find my Week 7 picks here.
