This one was a late flex into this slot as some injury news broke in both this game and the other game that we had originally earmarked for the last cover.
The Eagles had a surprisingly tight game against New England in week 1, and certainly didn't replicate their high-octane offense of the 2022 season. Instead, they ground out a solid but unspectacular win against the Pats in Foxboro, scoring just a single touchdown on offense.
The Vikings did exactly what we expected on offense in week 1, throwing for over 300 yards, and not really getting much going in the run game. Surprisingly, they were upset by the Buccaneers, whose QB, Baker Mayfield, revealed later that he had worked out their defensive signals. Whatever the problem, the task in week 2 is a lot bigger.
