Updated Eagles-Vikings odds for Week 7; plus player props for Jalen Hurts, Carson Wentz, and more
Here are the latest odds for Sunday as the Birds look to avoid a third straight loss.
Coming off two consecutive losses, the Eagles (4-2) will travel to U.S. Bank Stadium Sunday to face the Minnesota Vikings (3-2) in a Week 7 matchup.
On Friday, the Vikings announced that former Eagles QB Carson Wentz will start in Sunday’s matchup, as starter J.J. McCarthy continues to work back from an ankle injury. Wentz, who is dealing with an injury to his non-throwing shoulder, was a full participant in all practices for the Vikings this week.
As both teams prepare to best one another, here’s an updated look at the game odds and some interesting prop bets from two of the biggest sportsbooks …
Eagles vs. Vikings updated odds
The last time these two teams met was in Week 2 of the 2023 regular season, with the Eagles earning 34-28 win at Lincoln Financial Field. Earlier in the week, both sportsbooks had the Eagles listed as 2.5-point favorites.

Passing yards props
Jalen Hurts has thrown for at least 280 yards in each of the Eagles’ back-to-back losses. Meanwhile, Wentz has thrown for over 230 yards in his last two starts, and has thrown five touchdowns to two interceptions in his three games since replacing McCarthy.
For this week’s matchup, both sportsbooks have Hurts’ over/under set at around 206 passing yards, closer to his average for the season, and Wentz’s over/under set at around 230 passing yards.

Passing TDs
Like Wentz, Hurts has also thrown for five touchdowns over his last three contests — one against the New York Giants, two against the Denver Broncos, and two against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Oddsmakers don’t see either quarterback going much above their recent averages.

Rushing yards props
Saquon Barkley continues to struggle this season, rushing for under 60 yards in each of the Eagles’ last four contests. Vikings running back Jordan Mason, who took over for an injured Aaron Jones, has rushed for over 70 yards just once through five games, in a win over the Cincinnati Bengals.
In terms of the quarterbacks’ rushing odds, Hurts and Wentz are coming off games that saw them both rush for only 13 yards. Oddsmakers see one QB improving in that area on Sunday.

Receiving yards props
With the offensive inconsistencies from the Eagles throughout the past six games, it can be tough deciding on the over/under in receiving yards. A.J. Brown is coming off a game that saw him record six receptions for 80 yards, making this his second game of the year with over 50 receiving yards. But he’s also had games this season of seven, eight, and 27 total yards.
Meanwhile, DeVonta Smith finished with 49 yards and Dallas Goedert is coming off a big night that saw him haul in nine receptions for 110 yards. For the Vikings, Justin Jefferson is coming off two consecutive games of over 120 yards, so it’s no surprise he has the highest projected total here.

Touchdown Scorers
In Week 6 for the Eagles, both Hurts and Goedert found the end zone. This was the fourth consecutive game Goedert has scored a touchdown. And for the Vikings, Mason, Addison, and Josh Oliver scored in the team’s win over the Cleveland Browns.
