Minnesota Vikings vs Eagles in Week 5: The Philly perspective

5) Of course, the Eagles were the Super Bowl Champions last year despite being underdogs. Which teams in the NFC are sneaky picks to be the underdogs to bring home the Lombardi trophy this year? And should Minnesota now be considered underdogs even though they were among the favorites at one point?

With so many people falling head over heels for the Rams, it’s almost as if the Eagles, Vikings and Saints have become underdogs. It seems as though Atlanta won’t be playing any defense this season.

With that being said, don’t forget about Carolina. With their defense and ability to make splash plays, they may be around at the end of the season.

Having watched Kirk Cousins for so long has taught me he disappears against better teams, but then again, he may only need to be serviceable for the Vikes to have a realistic shot.

I honestly believe he’s an upgrade from Case Keenum, and look at what you guys did with him in the lineup

BONUS: What is your prediction for an outcome and final score?

Typically, when Philly starts 2-2, things turn out well. I think the Eagles show up after a rough week and win this one. I say 27 -17 in favor of the Birds.
