Summary:
The Eagles have lost their last two games after starting the season (3-0). Quarterback Carson Wentz struggled last week against heavy pressure all game long. Wentz and the Eagles offense will face an even taller task against the number one defense in the NFL this week. The Vikings have the highest turnover margin in the NFL by far so it’s no surprise they are undefeated. The Vikings defense has been phenomenal and will look to force the rookie Wentz into turnovers. This figures to be a low scoring game with both teams having a top 5 defense. I like Minnesota to take care of the ball and win a close one on the road.
