Vikings vs. Redskins Free Pick
Leslie Frazier will make his coaching debut this Sunday when the Minnesota Vikings travel to FedEx Field to take on the Washington Redskins. Will the Brad Childress-less Vikings get back on track this week?
According to Week 12 NFL odds and according to oddsmakers from online sports book Sportsbook.com, the Redskins are 1-point favorites over the Vikings on Sunday. The over/under total for this game is currently 43 points.
The Vikings are 3-7 overall this year and a horrendous 2-8 against the spread. They’re 2-3 on the road in 2010 and just 2-2-1 against the spread according to latest NFL trends.
The Redskins improved to 5-5 with an overtime win over the Titans last Sunday. They’re 5-4-1 against the spread this year, which includes a 2-2-1 ATS record at home.
NFL Week 12 Free Pick
The Vikings may play with more energy this week after Childress was fired earlier in the week. The players disliked him and should play harder for Fraizer. The problem is that Childress had nothing to do with the Vikings’ lack of a pass rush, or the fact that Brett Favre can’t stop turning the ball over. There’s no doubt the Vikings have talent, but they’re playing like white-hot garbage right now and have showed zero signs of turning around their season. Don’t forget that this is a team that barely squeaked by a bad Arizona team at home a couple of weeks ago. They’re 0-4 against the spread versus the NFC over their lat four games and 0-6 ATS in their lat six games as an underdog. The Redskins aren’t a superior team by any means, but they’ll be better prepared. Our pick is the Redskins.
