Vikings vs Philly game thread
Getting this up early as we could use a thread to track the game. Here’s to an Ingram breakout game. LFG!!
I think we play much better than vs TB, but doubt it will be enough to actually win. Hope I'm wrong on the last bit. Even if we play well in a loss I won't be too upset. Philly is good. If we lay an egg then I'll officially be in panic mode.
Regardless, the Vikes flag is flying out front of the house and I'm excited to tune in. Skol!
First play from scrimmage, Addison 74 yard TD reception!
Eagles 31, Vikings 7

The more football I watch the more I realize that winning in the NFL is about three things: Well-prepped QBs, superstars doing superstar things and game plan. The rest of the rosters are nearly interchangeable.I think we play much better than vs TB, but doubt it will be enough to actually win. Hope I'm wrong on the last bit.

Hoping for the best, but almost completely expecting the worst. Same old, same old rinse and repeat for us Viking fans.I still love 'em though - SKOL! B)

Short Week, On the Road, Playing a very good team, O-line injuries, no enough running game, Cousin lacking pocket awareness.Hoping for the best, but almost completely expecting the worst.

@"Still Hurtn" said:Me too. I actually put $50 on the Eagles at -6. That will mitigate the loss a tiny bit and if an upset who cares about $50. Worst case is we lose by 6 or less :)@"HappyViking" said:Hoping for the best, but almost completely expecting the worst.

For me it is Cowboys, Eagles then Packers.
I always figured he was an Eagles fan.
We lost a game we should not have so now it would make sense to win a game we are not expected to!
I can't believe the spread is 6.5.
What's the win percentage for road teams on TNF? Pretty low I imagine.

I also took the Chiefs lol!
@"Vikergirl" said: I can't believe the spread is 6.5.yea and I got it at 6 last night. I think it started at 7.
@"minny65" said:It started at 7.5. Went to 7, then 6.5. It's now 6. Lotta late money headed to the Vikings I guess is what that means.@"Vikergirl" said: I can't believe the spread is 6.5. yea and I got it at 6 last night. I think it started at 7.

I read its around 37%, but that can be skewed once they get into bye weeks where a team doesnt have to play on a short week too.

Eagles!6.5 is a gift from Vegas.
Hope I'm wrong, dont think so though.
Just read that Darrisaw will most likely not play tonight. Also I heard on the radio teams the start 0-2 have 11% chance of going to the playoffs.

Wow, I thought the line was about right. I took the Vikings. Not necessarily because I think they're going to win, more because it seems like you can only win some real money by taking the underdog.The winner will be the team who comes out with the better game plan. That may not make a difference though if Darrisaw is out. And twitter is buzzing that he may not play.

Yup scripted first drives go perfectly, the rest of the game is a shit storm. That's been the blueprint against the Eagles.The one thing playing in our favor us the Eagles are missing a few starters on defense and breaking in 5 new starters from their defense last year. Unfortunately for us, the difference in all likelihood is our weak line missing a couple starters ourselves and the Eagles backup defensive line is still better then our starting d line. It's a recipe for disaster. KOC better go double TE all night long and make an effort to run the ball tonight. Only way we have a shot
