NFL Picks Week 2

Thursday Night Football

Minnesota Vikings vs Philadelphia Eagles

Venue: Lincoln Financial Field

Time: 8:15 pm

Last week, the Vikings held the Buccaneers to just 73 yards on 33 carries, while the Eagles narrowly escaped a loss to the Patriots, thanks to a pick-six from Darius Slay. The Eagles have some advantages, including playing at home and their impressive 14-3 record from 2022. The Vikings, however, struggled in their home game in Week 1. Kirk Cousins, the Vikings’ quarterback, has a concerning 4-12 record in primetime road games.

Given these factors, the Eagles seem favored. The betting line suggests the market’s confidence in them, making the Eagles a safe bet to cover the spread.
