Vikings vs. Eagles Parlay: SGP Odds, Predictions for TNF

We're predicting D’Andre Swift will dominate in a larger role with our Minnesota Vikings-Philadelphia Eagles parlay predictions based on the best NFL odds for Thursday Night Football.

While the Philadelphia Eagles escaped a tough road test against the New England Patriots with a one-possession victory in Week 1, the Minnesota Vikings are coming off of the bitter taste of defeat.

After losing by a field goal in upset fashion to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, can Minnesota notch a statement win on the road Thursday night? Not if a potentially resurgent D’Andre Swift has anything to say about it.

To accompany our Vikings vs. Eagles prediction and Thursday Night Football player props, here are our best Vikings vs. Eagles parlay predictions (odds via our best NFL betting sites; pick confidence based on a 1-to-5-star scale).

SGP predictions for Vikings vs. Eagles

D'Andre Swift Over 33.5 rushing yards (-110) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Even with Rashaad Penny serving as a healthy scratch, D’Andre Swift was limited to a negligible role in Philadelphia’s Week 1 win over New England as the backfield workload was dominated by Kenneth Gainwell. Gainwell, though, has been ruled out for Thursday night due to a rib injury.

Eagles head coach Nick Siriani implied this week that the team would like to see Swift garner more than the one carry and one reception that he received in Week 1. With the previous lead back out of commission, there’s no better time to make it happen for Swift.

FanDuel provides better value on this prop than DraftKings, as the FanDuel line is 33.5 yards with standard -110 odds on Over. DraftKings, though, makes Swift clear 34.5 yards to hit the Over, and offers lower-quality odds at -115.

However, our Esten McLaren is looking to Swift's teammates with his anytime touchdown scorer predictions for Thursday Night Football.

D'Andre Swift Over 16.5 receiving yards (-110) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We’re doubling down on the versatile Swift being used in multiple ways out of the backfield Thursday. When Siriani discussed the notion of Swift getting more involved for the Eagles offensively, he mentioned Swift’s skill set being one that could allow the Eagles to feed the former Detroit Lions' draft pick beyond merely handing the ball off to him.

While a wrench could be thrown into the plans if an active Penny suddenly elevates to workhorse—or if Boston Scott randomly sees more work—we’re banking on a course correction for Swift’s involvement.

DraftKings doesn’t offer a receiving yardage prop on Swift, which makes FanDuel an even more obvious choice for our TNF parlay. FanDuel offers Swift receiving yards at an attainable 16.5 with a standard -110 on the Over.

Eagles -6.5 (-102) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

On paper, the Minnesota passing offense should be one of the top units in the league. Veteran Kirk Cousins distributing the ball to superstar Justin Jefferson (see our Justin Jefferson player props), sturdy tight end T.J. Hockensen, and rookie burner Jordan Addison is a great blueprint for an offense.

But Minnesota’s running game leaves much to be desired with the underwhelming Alexander Mattison leading the charge. Considering Philly’s elite secondary, I just don’t see how the Vikings can go blow-for-blow scoring with the Eagles on Thursday night. Our Jon Metler is also on Kirk Cousins' Under with his NFL player props for Week 2.

This line opened at Eagles -7.5, so dipping below a touchdown is a gift to wrap up our parlay. It’s a clean sweep for FanDuel on the SGP odds, as FanDuel edges out DraftKings on this -6.5 line, with -102 odds compared to -105 at DK.
