Vikes/Eagles

[cryano]

Vegas has Vikes -3.
ESPN has Eagles 59% likely to win.

I wish Vegas made the line more similar to ESPN analytics.

I don't see the Eagles winning without Wentz under center. The Vikings have done well all year with a mediocre QB, but that's how they were built.

Keenum and Foles will both be facing similar problems, but Keenum has a season of success behind him, while Foles has been struggling since he got thrown out there. Plus, even though the Vikes don't have the largest national following, there will be sentimental bets on the team to host a SB, which is probably built into the line. I think in real life, it's more of a toss-up, but that's probably why the Vikes are getting the nod. Will be interesting to see if/how the line moves at the end of the week.

FYI, looks like relatively warm and clear weather for both games.

got to take the teaser NE-1 Minny +3

Cant See NE losing, and if the vikes lose I bet it will be within 3 points.

Weather looking like less of a factor. I think I'm taking taking the jags (line is now 7.5) along with the Vikes -3. Hurt or not, I don't think Brady is going to be able to wait for the stuff out wide to develop and it ends being a close one. Agree with Cav about the Vikes score.

How is your QB under pressure, vs. not?

Just based on last game, so, of course don't read too much into it.

for the year as a whole, for example. Keenum was good under pressure
