Vikings at Eagles picks and predictions
Prediction
Vikings 17, Eagles 13
Moneyline
BET VIKINGS (+115).
The Vikings defense stepped up last week against the Browns, allowing just 12 points. Meanwhile, Minnesota’s offense scored 24 or more points in each of its preseason games, and it is expected to do so again Saturday.
The Eagles have allowed exactly 13 points in each of their preseason contests but scored just enough to win both. They scored 16 in an opening 3-point win at the Ravens and as mentioned, scored 14 at the Pats.
While this should be a close game, the Vikings at plus-money are a good wager.
Against the spread
PASS.
The moneyline has better value for the Vikings.
Over/Under
BET UNDER 33.5 (-110).
Again, the Eagles have allowed 13 points in each game and the Vikings yielded 12 points in last week’s game. While both teams have solid offenses, it is clear their defenses are steadfast. Expect a low-scoring game even with a lower total.
