The Vikes didn’t cash in against the online NFL betting odds as a 5.5-point ‘home’ underdog just one week after failing to do so against the Giants in their 21-3 loss home loss.
Rookie quarterback Joe Webb tossed two interceptions in the loss after relieving Favre who tossed one TD pass and one interception.
The Vikings may have veteran quarterback Brett Favre back under center for this contest after the grizzled Hall of Fame-bound star was pounded into submission on another vicious sack.
Favre will try to suit up tonight as will running back Adrian Peterson as he also tries to bounce back from a recent injury.
Philadelphia Eagles
- Eagles are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games as a home favorite of 10.5 or greater.
- Eagles are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 home games vs. a team with a losing road record.
- Eagles are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games in December.

The Philadelphia Eagles have won three straight games including its 38-31 ‘Miracle at the Meadowlands II’ win over the reeling New York Giants in Week 15.
Philadelphia cashed in against the online NFL betting odds as a 3-point road underdog to move to an impressive 4-2 ATS over its last half-dozen games.
The Birds got three TD passes from MVP candidate Michael Vick and two touchdown receptions from Jeremy Maclin, not to mention a punt return score from DeSean Jackson.
Analysis: First and foremost the Philadelphia Eagles have a whole lot to play for while the Vikings will most likely be going through the motions while thinking about getting into some warmer weather inside the next two weeks as they will be ‘on the golf course’ following their Week 17 finale.
Combine that fact with the fact that the Eagles have a plethora of game-breaking skill position players and it’s easy to come to the conclusion that the Birds are going to win this one going away.
Philadelphia averages a dozen points per game more than the Vikings and has the best quarterback in this contest in MVP candidate Michael Vick.
The Eagles have scored at least 30 points in each of its last three games while scoring at least 26 points in a whopping seven straight games overall.
Minnesota has scored all of 17 combined points over its last two games and has only managed to top the 17-point plateau once in its last six games.
The Vikings are 0-5 ATS in their last five games against the Eagles and I fully believe the Birds are going to cash in against the online football betting odds to drop the Vikes to 0-6 ATS against the Birds in the last six meetings.
NFL Picks: Philadelphia Eagles -14 Points/Over 41.5 Total Points
