Can the Eagles bounce back after shocking loss to the Giants?
After a 4-0 start that drew national scrutiny for how narrowly they won games, the Philadelphia Eagles are 4-2 after losses to the Broncos and Giants in the past two weeks. The Giants' loss hurt especially–the Eagles entered the game as 7.5-point favorites and left with a 34-17 loss–on the wrong side of the first game they've played this season to be decided by multiple scores.
The Eagles never had control against the Giants–they ended the first quarter down 13-10 and the first half down 20-17, before going scoreless through a second half that quickly turned into the Cam Skattebo show. Skattebo ran for 98 yards and three touchdowns on 19 carries against the Eagles, including one-yard runs to score each of the Giants' last two touchdowns. The Eagles got 58 rushing yards out of Saquon Barkley, their own lead back, but allowed just as many to Giants rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart. Their offense moved the ball a total of 12 yards on ten plays in the third quarter, and gave away possession on two drives in the fourth quarter–one on an interception to Giants cornerback Cor'Dale Flott, another on a strip of running back A.J. Dillon by safety Dane Belton.

Jalen Hurts finished the game having completed 24 of 33 passes for 283 yards, averaging a 72.7 completion percentage and 8.58 yards per attempt. It marked Hurts' highest passing total of the year thus far, but also his first interception of the season and another inefficient game on the ground. After carrying the ball 41 times for 179 yards and four touchdowns through the Eagles' first four games, Hurts has only logged 15 yards and a touchdown on nine carries in their two losses.
Vikings are hopefully healthier after Week 7 bye
The Minnesota Vikings are 3-2 entering Week 7, having taken Week 6 off after a game each in Ireland and the United Kingdom. They'll be returning home in Week 7 for the first time since they demolished the Bengals 48-10 in Week 3, with backup quarterback Carson Wentz making his first start in place of the injured J.J. McCarthy.
McCarthy (ankle) is one of several Vikings listed as questionable on the Friday injury report, but he's likely to miss another game. He's joined by right tackle Brian O'Neill (knee), guard Michael Jurgens (hamstring), linebackers Blake Cashman (hamstring) and Tyler Batty (knee), and defensive lineman Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins. Aside from McCarthy, the Vikings were missing three of their five starting offensive linemen–guard Donovan Jackson, center Ryan Kelly, and O'Neill–when they narrowly beat Cleveland 21-17 in Week 5. Jackson (wrist) should suit up after being a full participant in practice on Thursday and Friday; Kelly remains on IR after two early-season concussions.
Wentz completed 25 of 34 passes against the Browns in Week 5, averaging a 73.5 completion percentage and 6.9 yards per attempt. He's averaged a 69% completion percentage and 7.6 yards per attempt since taking over for McCarthy. Jordan Mason handled lead back duties against the Browns, carrying the ball 13 times for 52 yards and a touchdown, and he'll likely retain those duties as long as Aaron Jones Sr. and Ty Chandler remain on IR.
Philadelphia Eagles vs. Minnesota Vikings Pick
Spread Pick for Philadelphia Eagles vs. Minnesota Vikings
- Vikings +1.5 (-110) (4 Units)
The Vikings are coming off a bye week and a stretch in which they went 2-1 with a backup quarterback who's years removed from the last time he'd consistently played winning football. The Eagles are on the road, on the heels of their worst loss thus far, haven't won a game this season by more than seven points, and haven't done nearly as much this year to inspire confidence in their coaching staff as the Vikings have to inspire confidence in theirs. If the Vikings have enough players ready to go from the long list of names on their injury report, I'd take them to win outright.
Over/Under Pick for Philadelphia Eagles vs. Minnesota Vikings
- Under 44.0 (-110) (4 Units)
Putting aside the Vikings' 48-10 rout of the Bengals, in which their defense repeatedly secured turnovers to either score themselves or set the offense up with easy field position, the only game in which they eclipsed 21 points scored was their Week 1 27-24 comeback win against the Bears. The Eagles have scored only 17 points in each of their last two games, and their loss to the Giants was the first time this season that they allowed more than 30. Neither team here wants to get into a shootout; I'd expect the loser to fall short of the 20-point threshold, and I wouldn't expect the winner to clear it by much more than necessary.
