Philadelphia Eagles Preview
Jalen Hurts has thrown for 1,172 yards (8 TD, 1 INT) while adding 195 yards rushing. Saquon Barkley leads the backfield with 325 rushing yards and 3 touchdowns on 95 carries. DeVonta Smith tops the receivers at 29 catches for 321 yards and 1 touchdown, while A.J. Brown has 274 yards and a score. Tight end Dallas Goedert has been a key red-zone option with 5 touchdowns.
On defense, Zack Baun leads with 48 tackles, plus 2 sacks and 1 interception. The front seven has produced pressure, but the Eagles are coming off back-to-back losses and have allowed too many long drives the last two weeks. Getting more three-and-outs and shorter fields for Hurts and Barkley is a must. Corner Quinyon Mitchell (hamstring) is questionable; if he’s limited, safety help over the top on Justin Jefferson becomes even more important.
Minnesota Vikings Preview
Minnesota’s quarterback status is worth monitoring, but Carson Wentz has paced the passing game with 759 yards (5 TD, 2 INT), and J.J. McCarthy has 301 yards (2 TD). McCarthy is the starter but has missed time due to injury. Jordan Mason leads the running game with 323 yards and 3 touchdowns on 69 carries. Justin Jefferson is the key to the offense with 29 receptions for 449 yards and 1 touchdown, and Jordan Addison has 155 yards and a score in limited action. Tight end T.J. Hockenson has 153 yards and 1 touchdown.

Defensively, Ivan Pace Jr. has 37 tackles, while Jalen Redmond leads with 3 sacks, and Isaiah Rodgers has an interception. Minnesota has been stronger at home, but pass protection has been a problem, and the run game has not been consistent. The plan for the Vikings is simple: protect the ball, keep Jefferson involved, and avoid third-and-long against an active Eagles front.
Philadelphia Eagles vs Minnesota Vikings Prediction
Both teams want to control the middle of the field. Philadelphia’s run-pass mix with Hurts and Barkley, plus Goedert in the red zone, has had success. Minnesota can answer with Jefferson, but the Eagles’ pass rush and short-yardage advantage give them the small advantage in a one-score game. Final Score Prediction: Philadelphia Eagles win and cover ATS 27–21.
