Eagles at Vikings
The Eagles will visit the Minnesota Vikings this weekend in the NFC playoffs. I know; it still comes as a shock to me too.
The game will be played Sunday at 4:30pm.
This is a winnable game for Andy Reid and his ragtag bunch of football players. They will be facing Reid’s former assistant and former offensive coordinator Brad Childress, who is now the head coach of the Vikings.
This matchup is intriguing. Adrian Peterson is one of the best running backs in the league and he will be facing one of the best run defenses in the league in the Eagles.
The Vikings do not have a strong secondary, actually one of the worst in the league, and the Eagles love to throw the football.
So, something has to give at some point.
I am not going to give any game predictions today. Predictions will have to wait until at least Friday. I have to stew a little more about this game.
