4* Money-Maker
(NFL) Washington vs. Minnesota,
Point Spread: 2.50 | -105.00 Minnesota (Home)
Result: Win
Taking the VIKINGS here. Could have gone ML here, but at just +120 I will grab the points instead. I do see a couple +3s floating around, and some +1s. When taking an ugly team like this, I will grab whatever is out there. The key for me here with Minny is simple. AP. Peterson is a beast. I have said it before, I don't care if it is Ponder, Freeman, Erik Kramer or Joe Webb. This offense is all about the running of AP. Minny off a last second loss, while the Skins off a last second defensive stand to get them to OT and a win. But I am not sold on this Redskins team. The defense gives up a ton of points (31ppg) good for 2nd worse in the league. Vikes not much better at 30ppg and 3rd worse. Leslie Frazier will have this group ready here. Vikes are losers of 4 straight and this is a great spot for them to pick up a win and break that slide. Not sure how much revenge factor can be put to play here after Washington's win last year. But the Redskins do have a division game up next vs the Eagles. Minnesota with Seattle on the road next is not the position to look ahead. They need 100% focus right to save the coaches butt. 4* Money-Maker MINNESOTA VIKINGS
