Monday Night Football Best Bets (Vikings vs. Eagles)
Remember when the Eagles drafted Jalen Reagor one pick ahead of Justin Jefferson? Yeah, so does all of Philadelphia. After a post-cutdown trade to the Vikings, Jefferson and Reagor are now on the same team. And Reagor apparently has revenge on his mind for this Week 2 Vikings vs. Eagles tilt on Monday Night Football. Revenge for what, you might ask. No one really knows. But it’s just one more storyline to monitor in a game already chock full of them.
Here are our favorite bets and leans for this Week 2 matchup on Monday night.

NFL Week 2 Monday Night Football Best Bets
Vikings vs. Eagles (-2.5)
The Vikings’ impressive Week 1 win over the Packers is skewing the line in this one, suggesting that this would be close to a pick ’em at a neutral site. I think the Eagles are the better team on both sides of the ball and had them projected as a 4.5-point favorite in this one. Kirk Cousins hasn’t been very good in standalone night games throughout his career, and Jalen Hurts will outplay him on Monday night.

Vikings vs. Eagles (-2.5)
The Vikings had the fortune of going up against a very disjointed Green Bay offense in Week 1 that was missing its presumptive top WR and two starting tackles on the offensive line. The Packers also failed to connect on a would-be TD on their first offensive play of the game due to a Christian Watson drop, which would have almost certainly changed the rest of the game’s outlook. The Eagles handled their opening week matchup against the Lions with relative ease, with garbage time TDs accounting for the tight score at the end of the game. Look for the Eagles to dominate the time of possession and run all over a Vikings defense that surrendered 6.2 YPC in Week 1.
