Public Betting On Spread Going for Philadelphia
Once as long as Philadelphia -7.5 points, today the spread is shortened to Eagles -6.5 at most major online NFL betting apps. That hasn’t slowed the public from going toward the Eagles, however.
In NFL spreads, the Eagles are drawing 63% of handle and 55% of bets. Minnesota is 5-13 ATS in the last 18 games against Philadelphia. In Week 1, the Eagles covered as 3.5-point favorites at the New England Patriots. The Vikings lost outright as the 4-point home chalk against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Philadelphia is 4-2 ATS in the last six home games against Minnesota. The Vikings are 1-6 ATS in their last seven games and 1-4 ATS in their past five meetings with NFC opponents.
NFL Betting Splits Uncertain About Total for Vikings vs Eagles
There’s division among the people when it comes to public betting on the total of 49 points. Looking at the over/under trends surrounding each of these teams, that uncertainty isn’t at all surprising.
Minnesota has gone over in seven of the club’s past nine games. The Vikings have also hit the over in 14 of last 21 games.

On the other hand, the under has proven to be the correct play in four of the Eagles’ last six games and four of their past five games played at Philadelphia.
When these two teams are meeting at Lincoln Financial Field, the under grows to be an ever stronger play. The total has gone under in six of the last seven times Minnesota has visited Philadelphia.
NFL Public Betting Leaning Strongly to Eagles On Moneyline
While there’s a slight majority of people expecting Philadelphia to cover the spread in this game, a massive amount of the NFL betting population is counting on the Eagles to be outright winners of the contest. Philadelphia is pulling 69% of handle and a whopping 94% of bets in the public moneyline splits. If that happens, many of their players will be good bets to target in the Vikings vs Eagles props.
Minnesota is 5-11 SU in the last 16 games against the Eagles. Overall, though, the Vikings are 12-5 SU in the past 17 games and 5-2 SU through the last seven road games.

And don’t go buying into the narrative that Minnesota QB Kirk Cousins can’t win in prime time games. Yes, he’s 12-20 SU over his career, but 3-3 SU in the past two seasons.
The Eagles are 16-4 SU through the past 20 games. Against NFC teams, they are 11-3 SU over 14 games. When facing NFC North clubs, Philadelphia is 5-0 SU in the last five games.
