The weather forecast calls for 70 degrees at kickoff with a low of 57 along with clear skies and north wind at 5-10 mph.

Vikings vs Eagles Props #1: Jalen Hurts Passing Yardage

Hurts did not have impressive statistics against the Patriots in the opener and looked a little rusty after not playing during the preseason.

In his 170-yard passing performance, he completed 22 of 33 attempts for one touchdown with no interceptions. He also had 37 yards rushing on nine carries while losing a fumble.

Hurts, whose NFL MVP odds are +1000, is capable of much better numbers. Last season, he burned the Vikings for 333 yards through the air and 57 yards on the ground in a 24-7 win that also occurred during Week 2 in Philadelphia.

The Vikings held Baker Mayfield to 173 yards last week, though he threw for two touchdowns in leading in the Buccaneers to the upset victory. However, Hurts is a much more dangerous quarterback than Mayfield and should have a big night against the Vikings after knocking off some rust. Look for him to go over his passing total in the Vikings vs Eagles props.

Vikings vs Eagles Props #2: Kirk Cousins Passing Yardage

Cousins had the second-most yards passing of any NFL quarterback in Week 1 behind the 466 of the Miami Dolphins’ Tua Tagovailoa.

Cousins completed 33 of 44 passes, threw for two touchdowns and was intercepted once. However, he also lost two fumbles and the three-turnover performance led to Tampa Bay pulling off the road upset.

The Vikings managed just 41 rushing yards in Week 1 after losing star running back Dalvin Cook in free agency. That leaves Minnesota’s offense looking very one-dimensional, which should make things easier for the Eagles defense. Also, Eagles cornerback Darius Slay is one of the few players who can at least slow down Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson.
