It's an NFC battle between teams going in opposite directions when the Minnesota Vikings host the Washington Redskins on Thursday Night Football. The Vikings have been lighting it up on their way to three straight wins behind quarterback Kirk Cousins and routed the Lions by 12 last Sunday. Cousins has passed for more than 300 yards in those three games, and the defense is allowing just 17.6 points. Meanwhile, the Redskins are struggling at 1-6 after a sloppy 9-0 loss to the 49ers, but quarterback Case Keenum will try to show some of the magic he had as Minnesota's QB in 2017. Kickoff is set for 8:20 p.m. ET at U.S. Bank Stadium. Minnesota is a 16-point favorite in the latest Vikings vs. Redskins odds, while the over-under is 42. Before you make any Redskins vs. Vikings picks, listen to the NFL predictions from the SportsLine Projection Model.
The model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, is up almost $7,000 for $100 players on its top-rated NFL picks since its inception four years ago. It has nailed its recent top-rated NFL picks, entering Week 8 of the 2019 NFL schedule on a strong 24-17 run that dates back to last season. It's also on an incredible 86-60 roll on top-rated NFL picks that dates back to the 2017 season. And in Week 7, it nailed the Chiefs (-3) covering with plenty of room to spare against the Broncos and the Ravens (+3) staying within the spread against the Seahawks in a game Baltimore won outright by 14.
The model also ranked in the Top 10 on NFLPickWatch for the third year in a row on straight-up NFL picks and beat more than 96 percent of CBS Sports office pool players. Anyone who has followed it is way up.
Now, it has set its sights on Redskins vs. Vikings. We can tell you it's leaning over, but it also says one side of the spread cashes in more than 60 percent of simulations. You can only see that pick at SportsLine.
The model knows Vikings' offense has been rolling since a loss to the Bears in Week 4 that brought criticism on Cousins and rumors that receiver Stefon Diggs was requesting a trade. Now, Cousins has thrown 10 touchdown passes and just one interception over the past three games, while Diggs has 353 yards and three TDs in the same span. Running back Dalvin Cook also has rushed for 725 yards this season for an offense that is sixth in the league in total yards at 391 per game.
Minnesota's defense ranks fifth in yards (327.9), sixth in points allowed (17.6), and has 19 sacks and a plus-two turnover differential. Danielle Hunter leads the team with seven sacks, while Everson Griffen has four and an interception. Safety Anthony Harris has two of the team's seven picks, a fumble recovery and five passes defended
But just because Minnesota is on a roll doesn't mean it will cover the Vikings vs. Redskins spread on Thursday Night Football.
Washington's defense is tough against the pass, allowing only 236 yards per game. Cornerbacks Quinton Dunbar and Josh Norman can shut down receivers, and the Redskins have intercepted seven passes. Dunbar has three interceptions, while Norman (questionable) has one, and each has four passes defended. Safety Landon Collins leads the team with 55 tackles.
Keenum, who led Minnesota to the NFC title game in 2017, calls the shots for Redskins and has completed 66.3 percent of his passes for 1,213 yards and nine touchdowns.
So who wins Redskins vs. Vikings on Thursday Night Football? And which side of the spread can you bank on in more than 60 percent of simulations? Visit SportsLine right now to find out which side of the Redskins vs. Vikings spread you should be all over on Thursday, all from the model that has returned over $7,000 on its top-rated NFL picks.
