Vikings opened at -2.5 (-115). I know there will be support on the eagles side to the point that the Vikes will fall at some point, but boy do they look good thus far and BOY have they made me some money this year.
So... What are the reasons not to destroy this line before it inflates? Public should back the vikes up to -5 to -6 I would think. Not too impressed with the eagles this year..
Would love to hear other opinions. I see insane amounts of value here!! I'm also a recreational gambler with a mathematics major (recipe for disaster). Let's discuss!!

Line is about where i expected it to be. I know the Vikings are 5-0 but I dont think they should be 6-7 point favorites on the road vs a pretty good team on the rise... If the game is in Minny then i would agree.
Now I'm not saying the Vikings are a fluke/overrated because that D is legit and defense travels but a lot of their success is also because of that crowd and atmosphere at home.

Eagles at home off back to back to road games, typically a good spot in the NFL. Remember the Eagles were undefeated before their bye. The week off can sometimes cause a loss of momentum.
Finally, Bradford used to play in Philly. Sure, he'll want to stick it to them but they have will also know how to play against him.
That said, I wouldn't take the Eagles. Their time at the top is done and they really aren't miles better than they used to be. The D is still suspect and now the O line is struggling again with Lane being suspended.
I think Under is a good play.Vikes are going to regress back to an anemic offense soon IMO.

I can see that angle. I almost feel like my living room was shaking watching games in that new stadium.

The Eagles are a hoax. Two of their touchdowns this week came on special teams and defense. Minn -2.5 is the play.
I must agree. Wentz looked great against Cleveland and Bears. I played high school football and I think I could hang in those games right now. He hasn't looked stellar since then. The Pittsburg game is hard to get a read on. They allow a lot of points most games so it really comes down to how big ben plays.
I just think that the eagles fail to find the red zone too often in this game and minny wins by AT LEAST 6 if not more. I also think vegas knows this so that makes me second guess myself!
This is all hypothetical, I will need to look at match ups before I pounce on anything!

The Eagles were one of the biggest "public" bets their previous two games, as short road faves (Wash and Det). Even though both lost, they weren't blown out. I don't think the public is ready to fade them.
And if the line gets to +3, there might be enough "sharp action" on the short home dog, so it shouldn't ever get beyond the 3, if it even gets there.
I think there is still good value on the Vikings even though they're 5-0 ATS. Great Defense is generally undervalued, but esp when that D doesn't have any "household names" (yet). There's no JJ Watt or Von Miller to hang your money on. So you have an unsexy (but great, young, "arriving") defense, and an unsexy offense who lost their HOF running back and who's QB didn't work out on two other teams. Beyond all that, they're in Minnesota. You can't really get more unsexy than that. If this same exact team was in Philly or NY or Pittsburgh or Dallas, we'd be getting more hype about them.
Therefore, I feel like the market is still not ready to fully back the Vikings, but I am..
