Why Bet the Commanders
The Washington team won their last three games and renewed their spirits for the remainder of the season. Before this good streak, the Commanders sunk into a negative streak of 4 straight losses, which put them in last place in the NFC East. Even after winning the last games, the team still couldn’t get out of the last position.
Carson Wentz has been dealing with a persistent finger injury, so we will see Taylor Heinicke starting this week. He comes with a 67.2% effectiveness in his passes. The Commanders have been improving lately in defense, achieving an 8th place in the league in the red zone defense.
Playing at home, the Commanders played 4 games and won two. The home factor has not been a differential for the team, since they have also played good games as a visitor. In this difficult match against the Vikings, the Commanders will need to be focused until the last minute, as their opponent usually surprises in the last stage.
The Commanders come with a +3 SPREAD for this game.
Why Bet the Vikings
The Minnesota team is having an incredible time. They won the last five matches, two of them outside their domains. Leading the NFC North, the Vikings have three more wins than the runner-up – the Packers.
The Vikings have scored 24 or more points in recent games and won all of those, showing the team’s high offensive power. The Vikings’ last defeat came in September against the mighty Eagles, who are on a historic winning streak.
Starting QB Kirk Cousins is preparing for facing his ex-teammates for the first time. He left the capital in 2017 to head to Minnesota and has established himself quite well. He is one of the most consistent players in the league, throwing for at least one touchdown in his last 38 games. In the receiving department, he complements quite well with Justin Jefferson, although last week against the Cardinals his receivers were KJ Osborn and Johnny Mundt.
The recent head-to-heads between the teams favor the Vikings, who have won 7 clashes out of the last 11. This will be another opportunity to widen that distance and stay stronger and stronger in the leadership of the NFC North.
The Vikings come with a -3 SPREAD for this game.
