Vikings vs. Eagles Free Pick
PHILADELPHIA, PA (TheSpread) – The Philadelphia Eagles are moving closer to a playoff berth and with the pathetic Minnesota Vikings on deck, they should earn the NFC East crown tonight. Continue reading for odds, picks and more on this NBC Tuesday Night Football matchup.
According to NFL Week 16 odds and oddsmakers from online sports book SBGGLOBAL.com, the Eagles are 14-point favorites over the Vikings on Sunday Night Football. The over/under total for this game is currently 42 points.
The Vikings dropped to 5-9 after they gave up against the Bears early in the second quarter in their game on Monday night. They’re now 4-10 against the spread and are 1-5 ATS on the road this season. (And 1-5 straight up on the road.)
The Eagles improved to 10-4 after shocking the Giants with an amazing fourth-quarter comeback last Sunday in New York. They’re now 7-7 against the spread according to latest NFL trends, which includes a 3-3 ATS record at home.
NFL Week 16 Free Pick:
The Vikings gave up last week as soon as Brett Favre went down. He won’t play tonight and with Joe Webb starting again, what makes anyone think they’ll play hard against a good Philadelphia team looking to secure home field advantage in the playoffs? Michael Vick and DeSean Jackson should annihilate a hapless Minnesota defense that couldn’t drum up a pass rush if they blitzed all 11 defenders. Adrian Peterson is expected to play, but he won’t be at full health and the Eagles’ front seven should keep him in check anyway. We’re a little weary about picking a heavy favorite on a Sunday night after the Patriots’ dud performance last week against Matt Flynn and the Packers, but Webb and the Vikes should struggle again this week. Our pick is the Eagles -14.
