2023 Week 2 Thursday Night Pick

According to ESPN Stats and Info Vikings WR Justin Jefferson enters Thursday's game vs Philadelphia 25 rec yds short of 5,000 in his career.

If he reaches that mark in this game, he would tie Hall of Famer Lance Alworth for the fewest games needed to reach 5,000 career rec yds (52).
 

Minnesota Vikings @ Philadelphia Eagles (-6.5) -  Minnesota showed signs of good potential with Addison as a promising rookie but somehow the Bucs were able to upset them.  Maybe it will take time for the Vikings to adjust with life without Dalvin Cook as Alexander Mattison was fairly mediocre.  The Eagles in the meantime took care of business against the Vikings last season in a blow out.  After forcing the an interception against Mac Jones early on, the game never felt in doubt even though the Patriots made it close.   Kenneth Gainwell can't play but the Eagles can just use DeAndre Swift and Boston Scott to fill in his absence.
