Vikes Views: Who Ya Got? Eagles at Vikings

The Minnesota Vikings host the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday at Noon. This will be the 32nd meeting of the two teams. The Vikings have the edge in the regular season with 15 wins to Philly’s 12, but the Eagles are 4-0 against the Vikings in the playoffs. The Eagles and the Vikings are the only two NFC teams with 13 or more wins in two of the past three seasons. The Buffalo Bills and Kansas City Chiefs match that in the AFC.

Surprisingly, this is a matchup of two bottom-10 offenses. The Eagles are 30th in the NFL with 274.5...

Minnesota Vikings News and Links: The Eagles Will Be A Good Test

Win or lose, the Eagles will be a good test to see where the team stands in the NFC pecking order. A loss wont be the end of the world and a win wont mean the team is destined. They still have along ways to go and, hopefully, they can remain free of any major injuries. Who starts at Quarterback does not really matter although by the sounds of things, Wentz will get another start. He seems to be OK with whatever happens which is nice.

I am going to most likely pick the Vikings to win straight up but...

Minnesota Vikings News and Links: Can The Vikings Beat The Eagles?

Minnesota Vikings News and Links: Can The Vikings Beat The Eagles?

No matter who starts for the Vikings, the Eagles are coming into this game in a fowl mood. They do not want to have three straight losses. If the Vikings run defense is seriously a problem then the 4th ranked Eagles offensive line (per PFF) could really allow Saquon Barkley to go off. Now you could argue that the Eagles rush attack is not that good so afar and the offense overall has not been that good. While true, I think they are going to look at what the Falcons were able to do and try to repeat it. I...

2025 NFL Week 7: Philadelphia Eagles at Minnesota Vikings

With the bye week firmly in the rear-view mirror, it’s time for the Minnesota Vikings to get back to work. They’ll have a tall task ahead of them coming out of their off week, as they’ll host the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday afternoon at U.S. Bank Stadium.

The Vikings are coming off of a road trip that saw them serve as the road team for consecutive overseas games in different cities, a first in the history of the NFL. They dropped the first game of that trip to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Dublin, Ireland, by a score of 24-21. They...
