The Vikings have been the biggest money-makers in the NFL under Mike Zimmer covering an amazing 18 of their last 21 games.
I like the undefeated Vikings in this spot, too, off a bye and catching the Eagles tumbling back to Earth. The Eagles opened 3-0 beating the Browns opening week and taking advantage of the Bears and Steelers, both of whom were missing key skill position players at the time.
The Vikings give up just 12.6 points per game, fewest in the NFL, and are No. 2 in total defense. The Eagles surrendered 493 yards to the Redskins last week, including 230 on the ground. Their defense was on the field for more than 34 minutes.The Vikings should get back their best wide receiver, Stefon Diggs, and upgraded their offensive line during the bye signing former Pro Bowl left tackle Jake Long.
Philadelphia couldn't manage a touchdown on offense against the Redskins' vulnerable defense. The Eagles are now without suspended offensive tackle Lane Johnson. The Vikings have a fierce pass rush. Philadelphia has been playing sloppy committing 37 penalties in their last three games.
