4) What is it about the Minnesota Vikings that should scare the Eagles heading into the game and how can Philly overcome it?

"“This is an Eagles team that, all of a sudden appears to go through long offensive droughts. The defense has been too generous in the first half of the last two games as well. Both weaknesses seem to be strengths of the Vikings, so we’ll all be hoping this team gets back to controlling time of possession and sticking with game plans. We seem to want to freelance when things don’t go well as early or as fast as we’d like it to.”"

5) What is your prediction for a final score for the game and who will have an impressive game statistically against the Vikings?

"“I’d say 24-14 in favor of Vikings if I was being realistic. We’ll hope Wentz can get over 200 yards in the air, but we’ll see. Statistically, don’t expect big numbers from any one guy. It may be a collaborative effort from the receivers or a big day from the running backs. A committee is used there, and we’ll hope for about 100 yards total in rushing to go along with some timely receptions from whoever steps up. he best chance of that is maybe Zach Ertz or Darren Sproles getting off.”"
