The NFL opens up Week 2 with a matchup between the Minnesota Vikings (+1.5)
and the Philadelphia Eagles (-7) on “Thursday Night Football.” The Eagles and Vikings have faced off 26 times in their franchises' histories, with Minnesota winning 15 of those games, though Philadelphia won their most recent matchup 24-7 last September.
Last week, the Eagles and Vikings had similar performances but there was one key difference between them that was the biggest catalyst in Philadelphia being 1-0 and Minnesota being 0-1. Both offenses threw the ball as their primary method of moving the ball, while both defenses were stout against the run and vulnerable against the pass.
