Well what does the NFL have in sort for us tonight after an eventful opening weekend. Vikings are looking a bit beat up with serious question marks along the offensive line tonight. Justin Jefferson had a monster first half against against the Bucs last Sunday, but cooled off down the stretch and wasn’t able to find the end zone. Think he’ll be motivated tonight to catch his first touchdown under the bright Amazonian lights of Thursday Night and solidify his perch atop the wide receiver ranks.
As for the Eagles, they played some pretty uninspiring ball last week after blitzing the Pats early and racing out to an early 16-0 lead in the first quarter. While the Eagles roster might be the deepest and most talented in the league, there was significant change to the leadership of the offense and defense after both of their Super Bowl coordinators took head coaching jobs in the offseason. This is an underrated variable that has the potential to significantly impact the flow of the team, particularly early in the season. Hurts didn’t play much in the preseason and he’s still getting adjusted to a new play caller. Expect some more uneven play tonight from the Eagles.
Nervously taking the Viking +6.0
Thursday Night Record: 0-1
