Philadelphia Eagles football is returning to the Linc for a primetime game in Week 2.
The reigning NFC champions opened their 2023 season with a messy victory over the New England Patriots. The team capitalized on two early New England turnovers but held on for the win instead of shutting the door on the road. Jalen Hurts had a relatively underwhelming day, totaling 207 yards with a passing touchdown and a fumble.
Nonetheless, the Eagles are 1-0 and now get a visit from Primetime Kirk Cousins for their home opener.

- Kirk Cousins passing yards over/under: 260.5

Kenneth Gainwell was the clear RB1 for the Eagles in Week 1, but a rib injury will likely keep him out of Week 2. With D’Andre Swift getting just one carry and Rashaad Penny a healthy scratch last week, oddsmakers have only set a line for Hurts’ rushing total this week.
The Eagles’ defense played well against the Patriots’ rushing attack, and that is expected to keep up against a Vikings team that totaled 41 yards on the ground against the Bucs.
- Jalen Hurts rushing yards over/under: 45.5
- Alexander Mattison rushing yards over/under: 45.5
