Vikings vs Eagles Sharp Bets Analysis
With a new offensive system and five new starters on defense, the Philadelphia Eagles are struggling to gel into their 2022 form. After sitting out the preseason Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts looked rusty in a 25-20 win on the road against the Patriots. The air-tight offensive line from a year ago has sprung some leaks allowing Hurts to be pressured from start to finish. ” Was it our cleanest opportunity? No,” Eagles coach Nick Sirianni said. “We’ve got a lot of things to clean up.” Vikings vs Eagles Vegas Odds Over/Under is at 48.5 points on the Vegas Odds
Minnesota looked sloppy in a 20-17 loss at home against Tampa Bay in a game where they committed three turnovers and shot themselves in the foot with penalties. “We beat ourselves,” Minnesota running back Alexander Mattison said. The flat performance was not void of some impressive performances however with reigning offensive player of the year Justin Jefferson looking unstoppable while amassing 150 receiving yards. The run defense was also stingy allowing only 2.2 yards per carry.
Vikings vs Eagles NFL Sharp Bets Predictions
Both of these teams are banged up with Philadelphia missing a couple of guys in the secondary and Minnesota playing a backup center. Both teams are coming in with a reputation as offensive powerhouses after explosive 2022 outputs but neither squad displayed the same firepower in the opener. With the Vikings banged up on the O-line expect the Eagles’ ferocious pass rush to stifle Justin Jefferson and the offense. The UNDER went 12-4 in NFL week 1 as coaches have adjusted to the pass-happy league with schemes to limit big plays. Expect that trend to continue with a low-scoring affair. Take Vegas Sharps expert betting advice and plunk down 3 UNITS on the UNDER to cash in.
