The Philadelphia Eagles are underdogs for the second time this season in their Week 6 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings.

The Vikings are three-point favorites for the matchup at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis on Sunday afternoon.

The first time the Eagles were underdogs this season, they scored a 34-27 upset win over the Green Bay Packers. They’re going to hope for a similar result against the Vikings.

On Sunday, the Eagles were two-touchdown favorites against the New York Jets, and the team’s defense basically covered that spread all by itself in a 31-6 drubbing.

The Vikings were 5.5-point favorites in their matchup against the New York Giants, and they left MetLife Stadium with a 28-10 win.

It will be an interesting matchup for the Eagles. The Vikings have a disruptive offensive line that sacked Giants quarterback Daniel Jones four times and recorded eight quarterback hits. On the other side of the ball, quarterback Kirk Cousins was 22 of 27 for 306 yards and two touchdowns, and after he publicly apologized to wide receiver Adam Thielen, the two connected seven times for 130 yards and two touchdowns.

The Eagles have a banged up secondary that should be tested by Thielen and Stefon Diggs. Running back Dalvin Cook ranks second in the NFL with 92 carries for 592 yards and five touchdowns.

Last season, the Vikings beat the Eagles at Lincoln Financial Field, 23-21. The Eagles have played only one game at U.S. Bank Stadium in their history. They beat the New England Patriots, 41-33, to win Super Bowl LII.
