Minnesota Vikings (PK) over Washington Professional Football Team

This is basically an identical spot to the aforementioned Miami/San Diego contest. For the record, Washington opened as a small favorite, the line has moved all the way in Minnesota’s favor, and again, 74% of the ticket count is on the side of Washington while the sharp action leans heavily on Minnesota.

Fade. The. Public.

Washington is riding high on the heels of their Monday night victory over Dallas, but they are anything but “settled” at the quarterback position. Robert Griffin III is set to deploy in this game, but after more than a month on the shelf, he could be rusty and/or ineffective against a talented Minnesota defense, and playing at home, the combination of Teddy Bridgewater and Jerick McKinnon should install some fear into fans of the football team from D.C.

It won’t be pretty, but give me the Vikings.
