The Minnesota Vikings will travel to Philadelphia to battle the Eagles on Thursday night. Last season, Minnesota faced Philadelphia in primetime in Week 2, and the game went very badly for Kirk Cousins and company. Cousins was horrendous, throwing three interceptions in the blowout loss. However, we will see a different quarterback on Thursday.

Cousins passing yards total is listed at 262.5 against the Eagles, and we like him to soar over this number. He completed 75% of his passes last week against the Buccaneers for 344 yards. Tampa Bay's secondary is inferior to Philadelphia's, but Cousins can still pad the stat sheet. 

Mac Jones threw for 316 yards in the rain against the Eagles in Week 1, and Cousins has much better weapons to work with on Thursday. Minnesota could also play from behind throughout this contest, forcing them to get the ball downfield. 

The Cold, Hard Football Facts also show a decline in the secondary by the Eagles. Philadelphia's defense should improve from their Week 1 performance, but they were lit up in the passing game. The team currently ranks 24th in Defensive Real Quarterback Rating and 19th in Defensive Passer Rating. 

Philadelphia's front seven is a run-blocking nightmare, but the pressure was inconsistent against New England. We should see a lot of quick game with TJ Hockenson and some shots down the field with Justin Jefferson. If Cousins can connect on a couple of shots in this game, he will surpass his passing yards prop on Thursday night.
