Vikings:   24
Eagles:     29

Until the Vikings consistently break traditions, I can't bet this one any other way.

Hope I'm wrong! 

Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!

I'm always a little afraid Bad Kirk might show up. Especially on Monday night in the Eagles' home opener.

But I just don't think the Eagles are quite as good as their hype and I suspect the Vikings are a little better than theirs. I could be wrong. But no one could stop Kupp last year and I don't think anyone is going to stop JJ this year. Unlike the Rams, we've got Dalvin. He's the difference in this one. 

Vikings 33
Eagles 23

I'm with you, PF. I really have to see it to believe it. I hope I'm wrong as well.

Kirk makes a believer of us. But I think it comes down to a last second FG

30 - 27. Could go either way.

40-27 PHI. I think our secondary is in for a long day. Hope I’m wrong!

63-7 Vikings

O'Connell calls off the dogs in the last 5 minutes and the Eagles get a garbage time TD.

just a hunch, maybe naive hope, but I think KOC may keep the bad Kirk (paraphrasomg @MB) at bay more often than not...

I think our defense matches up well with them, Vikes 27-17.

Curious why you’d think this

Since Hurts isn't a great passer, I thought we could crowd the line and put pressure on him, but that was before I saw that our DC decided to play prevent defense tonight, have no idea what kind of scheme we are running with the back 6 15 yards off the ball.

Hurts passed very well tonight!  Of course the receivers were wide open and we had minimal poor pass rush...  Recipe for offensive success!  We're making Hurts look HOF worthy
