No idea...Genuine coin toss for me right now.

Can make cases for both teams, would go with the Vikes in Minny for sure but home crowds can do wonderful things for a team and make life an absolute bitch opposing offenses.

The LINC will be rocking, if Philly can get out to some sort of lead they will be mighty hard to stop.
 
Just like us, Minnesota's defence is much much better when at home.

Minnesota: 13.8 PPG (#2 NFL) vs 19.0 PPG away
Philadelphia: 13.0 PPG (#1 NFL) vs 23.5 PPG away


Our D at home should give us the edge there in my opinion.

The eagles D line led by fletcher cox really made freeman and the falcons run game close to non existent. (Coleman and his outside speed was the only positive plays they could get).

Going to be very hard for the vikes to win this game through the run. Although they have a better o line than the falcons.

I’m tipping this thread will be fully 25% of the volume of posts the AFC one has by game time.

There are no villains here.
If the Cowboys fans decided to come and be social for once rather than hide away in their team thread then there'd probably be lots and lots of melts/s**t fights between them and eagles fans.


Also fuey might pop up and back up the Eagles fans against the Cowboys especially since he'll be rooting for Philly

Philly. The home side just.

I’m predicting both starting qbs go down early and no one notices.
But then Bradford comes in and gets crippled by a gust of wind, so Bridgewater has to come in.
