'Skins - Pick it!
This one is going to be interesting for both teams. Vikes are on a roll now, and have been fun to watch these past 3 weeks. But, with the "Kirk vs Case" along with "AD vs Cook" angles, it makes for a must see matchup for Viking fans.
Washington has a decent D, and rush the QB about as well as the Viking do; meaning the running game must remain strong Thursday night. These short week Thursday games are the worst, and way more difficult for visitors.
I'm not expecting to see a blow-out but it could happen. I'm going with the home team in the awesome jerseys - SKOL!
Vikes: 24'Skins: 10
Risking a jinx I'm going to say a 44-13 win even without Thielen.
The 'Skins have given up 30+ points to every decent team they've played so far except for the 49er game in the rain storm on Sunday. They're 26th in rush yards allowed per game and 31st in completion percentage allowed. Their offense is 29th in ypg and equally ineffective in both pass and rush.
I'm going to bet on the offense continuing to roll and the defense having a game as good as or better than the ones against the Falcons, Raiders and Giants.
October comes to close---Vikings own the Washington ho's 35/17
Vikings are a -16.5 in Vegas, 16.5!! The biggest spread on the board this week. Thats more than Steelers vs Dolphins, Saints vs Cardinals or Browns vs Patriots.
The only thing that would surprise me about this game is if we lose. And we can't do that with 2 difficult road games up next. I'm saying the Vikings win, but no way am I giving-up that much.
Vikings in a much closer match than Skol fans would want:
Vikings 26
Redskins 21
Vikings 31
Redskins 9
AD asks for Cook's jersey after the game...then puts it in eBay...
What I don't like:
• Trap game. This is still the NFL and on any given, um, Thursday...
• Case and Adrian revenge factor
• Terry McClaurin
What I like:
• Everything else
Vikings 49
Redskins 14
This is a prime time game and the vikings are favored by 14 points or something like that. Because I have been a Vikings fan for 46 years, I fully expect the Vikings to come out flat and lay a big goose egg on national TV.
With that being said, Vikings win 34-6

Yeah, we don't have to look back very far to when they shat a big ol' turd when favored huge; week 3 against the Bills last year favored by 16.5 at home and lost by 21. Hopefully they learned from that game and remember.

Pretty much played out like I was guessing. Good showings from our KC and Delvin, but Case and AD showed up in Minny too.
Anyway I was closest so, I win! B)
