Philly tried every way possible to lose in New England on Sunday, but still covered the spread in absolute spite of themselves. Minnesota meanwhile lost to Tampa Bay despite a strong game from Justin Jefferson and they roll into town catching 7 points on a short week.
The Eagles almost always win as favorites (21-3 SU) and the Vikings almost always lose as dogs (8-24 SU), but Minnesota also seldom covers in Philly, seldom vs NFC teams and seldom in Week 2.
Early-season fatigue and injuries figure to play a role here Thursday and a recurring theme in Philly might make bettors think twice about backing them – they usually win SU in Week 1 and usually lose ATS in Week 2. Philly will miss RB Keneth Gainwell and defensive starters James Bradberry, Nakobe Green, Reid Blankenship and possibly Fletcher Cox.
