Minnesota Vikings (5-9) at Philadelphia Eagles (10-4)
Lincoln Financial Field - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Home Record: Minnesota 4-4; Philadelphia 4-2
Away Record: Minnesota 1-5; Philadelphia 6-2
All-Time Series: Philadelphia (12-11 - 3-0 in playoffs)
The Minnesota Vikings travel to Philadelphia to face the Eagles at Lincoln Financial Field, The Steelers are currently a 14.5-point home favorite with the total set at 43.5. Philadelphia has won and covered the spread in the last five meetings against the Vikings.
Trends:
Minnesota is 3-7 ATS in its last 10 games.
Minnesota is 1-4 ATS in its last 5 games on the road.
Philadelphia is 6-4 ATS in its last 10 games
Philadelphia is 5-0 ATS in their last 5 meetings.
The favorite is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 meetings.
I believe Michael Vick and company will clobber the Vikings. Minnesota limp defense will not slow down Vick and the Eagles’ offense. Furthermore, it doesn’t matter if Favre is at the helm or not for Minnesota. Look for the Eagles to win their sixth straight over the struggling Vikings and win the division title
Philadelphia Eagles - 14.5

Champs Sports Bowl
(22) West Virginia Mountaineers (9-3) vs. North Carolina State Wolfpack (8-4)
Florida Citrus Bowl - Orlando, Florida
Bowl Records: West Virginia (13-16 - 0-2 in Champs Sports Bowl)
NC State (12-11-1 - 2-2 in Champs Sports Bowl)
The Mountaineers won their last four games impressively, beating opponents by an average of 19.5 points. However, West Virginia has hurt it backers in bowl games repeatedly. The Mountaineers are 2-6 ATS over their last eight bowl games and 0-4 ATS their last four bowl games as favorite. Quite the opposite, North Carolina State is 5-1 ATS as an underdog this season and is 3-0-1 ATS in their last 4 bowl games. The Wolfpack is a better team than their record shows and I am uneasy with West Virginia history in bowl games. Take the field goal in a close clash. North Carolina State has won the last two meetings.
North Carolina State Wolfpack +3
