After a tough loss in Week 7, the Minnesota Vikings will have a tall task ahead of them as they attempt to avoid their first losing streak of the 2025 NFL season. The early betting odds certainly reflect that sentiment.
According to FanDuel, the Vikings are currently a 3-point underdog as they prepare to head out to the West Coast to face the Los Angeles Chargers on Thursday Night Football. The over/under for points in this one currently rests at 43.5.
This is a similar scenario to what the Vikings faced last season. They suffered a loss to Detroit early...

The Minnesota Vikings were defeated by the Philadelphia Eagles 28-22 on Sunday. Disappointing Red Zone performances, big plays, turnovers, and some questionable calls led to a deflating loss. The offense moved the ball up and down the field with ease. They just couldn’t punch it in for a touchdown. The defense was strong, for the most part, but were burned by big plays. Those big plays were assisted by some officials forgetting what a holding penalty looked like. A questionable hold on one TD for the Vikings and a reversal of a catch/non-catch that, if anything, wasn’t clear and obvious....

The Minnesota Vikings just lost a very winnable game due to several key miscues, dropping them to 3-3 on the season and last place in the NFC North division standings. It was the fourth game this season the Vikings have been -2 or worse in the turnover battle, a situation that carries just a 15% win rate in the NFL. The Vikings also failed to score a touchdown on five of six trips to the redzone, due to numerous miscues including a holding penalty that negated a touchdown, a snap over the quarterback’s head, a missed open receiver and bone-headed...

The Minnesota Vikings had plenty of opportunities to get themselves a victory over the defending world champions. In the end, however, they simply made too many mistakes to make it happen.
The Vikings came away with just one touchdown in six trips to the red zone at U.S. Bank Stadium, and their inability to convert in those situations left the door open for the Philadelphia Eagles, who defeated the Vikings by a score of in Week 7 action.
The Eagles drew first blood in this one, as they took the opening kickoff and marched 75 yards in 12 plays, capping...

Once again, it’s time to get those four fingers up above your head. We’re heading to the final quarter of play at U.S. Bank Stadium, and our Minnesota Vikings are trailing the Philadelphia Eagles by a score of 21-16.
The Vikings got the football first to start the second half after deferring on the opening coin toss. Myles Price got things started with a nice return to set the Vikings up at midfield. The Minnesota offense did push down into the red zone, but then Carson Wentz picked up an inexplicable intentional grounding penalty and the Vikings settled for another...

They’re heading into the locker rooms at halftime at U.S. Bank Stadium, and our Minnesota Vikings are trailing the Philadelphia Eagles by a score of 14-6.
The Vikings started the quarter with the ball, but on a third down play Carson Wentz threw a pass directly to Jalyx Hunt. That’s bad, because Hunt plays for the Eagles. Hunt then cruised into the end zone for a 42-yard pick six, and just like that the Vikings were down by a score of 14-3.
And things didn’t get any better on the next possession for the Vikings, as they managed to put...

We’ve made it through the first quarter at U.S. Bank Stadium, and our Minnesota Vikings trail the Philadelphia Eagles by a score of 7-3.
The Vikings won the coin toss and elected to defer to the second half, giving the defending Super Bowl champions the football first. As expected, the Eagles went heavy to Saquon Barkley early, and their fourth down rugby play helped to continue their opening possession into Minnesota territory. The Eagles then had another fourth down play, and they took advantage of a mismatch on defense as Jalen Hurts found A.J. Brown for a 37-yard touchdown to...
