Minnesota Vikings (5-9) @ Philadelphia Eagles (11-3)

Time: 8:20 pm EST

Point Spread: Philadelphia Eagles -14

Over/Under Line: 40

Preview: The Sunday Night Football game during week 16 will feature the Minnesota Vikings and the Philadelphia Eagles.

Minnesota is looking to finish their dreadful season that has seen a new head coach and a quarterback streak end. The Vikings are 5-9 and in third place in the NFC North. Minnesota saw Brett Favre make a start last week; only to leave early in the game. Tavaris Jackson is also out for Minnesota, so they have moved to their third option. Minnesota played the Monday Night game without top rusher Adrian Peterson. Peterson’s status for this night game is uncertain at this point. Peterson has rushed for over 1140 yards this season, with 11 touchdowns. His back-up Toby Gerhart, out of Stanford has picked up 304 yards on the season.

For Philadelphia, after their thrilling come back win over the Giants last weekend, they are in need of just one more win to seal the deal on the NFC East. Michael Vick has been a MVP type candidate for the Eagles; as he has thrown for 2755 yards and 20 touchdowns, while rushing for 613 yards and 8 touchdowns. The Eagles rank as the 6th best passing team and 4th best rushing team in all of the NFL.

My NFL Betting Picks: Minnesota Vikings +14 and Over 40
