Our favorite NFL best bets and player props for Thursday Night Football, where the Minnesota Vikings visit the Philadelphia Eagles.
While Kevin O’Connell’s crew only scored 17 points, they’re still in the top half of the league in EPA per play through Week 1 and 10th in EPA per dropback after finishing 10th in EPA per dropback last season. Even against a stingydefense, Cousins should be able to throw for at least 263 yards, a number he surpassed in nine of 17 games last season, just like Mac Jones was able to against them last week.
Last week against Tampa, in what remained a tied or one-score game from start to finish, Cousins threw 44 passes to just 14 carries for running backs. Without Dalvin Cook, Minnesota is lacking an explosive running game, and whether it’s a close one or the Eagles holding a lead throughout, Cousins is poised to be passing.
In his debut as the RB1 for the Vikings, he produced just 34 yards on 11 carries against one of the better defenses in the league — the Buccaneers were 11th in EPA per play last season — and things will only be harder against one of the best front sevens in football.
