Week 2 wraps up with a “Monday Night Football” doubleheader. For the purposes of this post, we’ll specifically be looking at the late game between the Vikings and Eagles which will kick off at Lincoln Financial Field. Both of these clubs were able to pull out wins in the opener with Minnesota handling the Packers, while Philly withstood a late rally by the Lions on the road.
While both are 1-0 entering this head-to-head, only the Vikings were able to cover in the opener, so they are the only club in this matchup looking to remain perfect in the eyes of the betting community. Below, you’ll find out how to watch this matchup and read our gambling breakdown to keep you sharp heading into this prime-time clash.

This line opened at Eagles -2.5 back in the spring and mostly stood there throughout the summer. Coming out of Week 1, the line moved to Eagles -3 for a brief period on Sunday night and dropped as low as Eagles -1.5 on Tuesday, but has since come back down and settled at its initial number.
The pick: Eagles -2.5. With this sitting below the full field goal, I’m very comfortable taking an Eagles offense that just put up 38 points in the opener and will now be in front of its home crowd. As much as Justin Jefferson can/will be a problem for an opposing defense, don’t sleep on A.J. Brown’s impact for Philadelphia. In Week 1, he dazzled with 155 yards on 10 catches and 13 targets and should continue to be a key outlet for Jalen Hurts. Also, we can’t ignore Kirk Cousins‘ struggles in prime time, even with the arrival of head coach Kevin O’Connell.
