The Minnesota Vikings are 6-2 SU on the year and sit atop the NFC North standings, but things are far from settled in the Gopher State. The Vikes are set to make an appearance in Landover, Maryland in Week 10 when they’ll collide with the Washington Redskins.
Sportsbook opened the Redskins as 1-point home underdogs with a total of 42.5.
- The Redskins are 1-5 SU in their last six games after a win.
- The Vikings are 2-6 SU and 1-7 ATS in their last eight games on the road.
- The total has gone OVER in the Vikings’ last five games against the Redskins.
The biggest story in this one will be the man under center for the purple and gold. Case Keenum has led the charge for Minny in 2017 and has fared well, throwing for 1,610 yards and seven touchdowns to go along with only three interceptions. Sam Bradford, who has appeared in only two games in 2017, is set to visit the renowned Dr. James Andrews to get a professional opinion on his injured knee.
Teddy Bridgewater has been activated to the Vikings’ 53-man roster and will make his return after a year-long recovery from knee surgery. It would be a stretch to see Bridgewater return to action right away, but it’s a promising sign to see him back in the fold.
Meanwhile, the Redskins have been one of the most confusing teams in the NFL this year. They narrowly beat the San Francisco 49ers before getting hammered by the Dallas Cowboys, but they’ve also topped the Los Angeles Rams and Seattle Seahawks this year. Kirk Cousins and the Redskins offense will be in tough against one of the league’s best defenses, but at least they’ve proven they can rise to the occasion against good squads.
Washington has been a downright brutal bet at home, evidenced by the Redskins going 1-5 ATS in their last six appearances at FedExField.
