Vikings will get another big win at home
The Vikings need a huge victory at home in order to send them into an even bigger Week 7 matchup with the Detroit Lions with a bit of momentum.
The Eagles will be a tough challenge for the Vikings, but they are far from an unbeatable foe heading into Sunday’s game.
If Kirk Cousins can channel the same effort he generated in New York and the duo of Adam Thielen and Stefon Diggs can exploit the Philadelphia secondary, that should open up lanes for Dalvin Cook, who will go up against the NFL’s top rushing defense, but that hasn’t mattered so far as he ranks second in the league in rushing yards.
Must Read. Trading Stefon Diggs would be tremendously stupid. light
A balanced offensive attack will be key as will getting pressure on Wentz by any means necessary. If the Vikings can jump out to another early lead, this should be another laugher at home and send Minnesota in another step in the right direction.
Prediction: Vikings 27, Eagles 21
