Eagles Vs. Vikings Wild Card Weekend

Eagles Vs. Vikings- Donovan McNabb, Brian Westbrook, and the Philadelphia Eagles travel to Minnesota to face Adrian Peterson and the Vikings in this NFC matchup. The Eagles beat up on the Dallas Cowboys in week 17, 44-6 to lock up the last NFC wild card. The Vikings on the other hand, beat the defending champion New York Giants 20-19 with a field goal with no time remaining on the clock to clinch the NFC north. Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb threw for 3916 yards with 23 touchdowns this season. Running back Brian Westbrook rushed for 936 yards and 9 touchdowns this season. For the Vikings, running back Adrian Peterson ran for 1760 yards and 10 touchdowns this season, while wide receiver Bernard Berrian had 48 receptions for 964 yards and 7 touchdowns.

Prediction- With Adrian Peterson healthy, the Eagles are going to have trouble with the Vikings running game. The Vikings will control the clock and win this game
30-20.
