Football point
spread: Washington Redskins vs. Minnesota Vikings
The betting preview and point
spread of the Week 16 football game Washington Redskins vs.
Minnesota Vikings.
There
is no playoff battle like the final Sunday football game, which
will see the Washington Redskins (7-7) match up to the
Minnesota Vikings (8-6). The Redskins are in a tougher
position for the playoff berth race, Washington must win both of
its final two games, including the final against the Cowboys and
must hope that the Saints lose one of their two final games.
Meanwhile the Vikings are on their 5-game winning streak and
their final season game will be against the Broncos (6-8). If
the Minnesota Vikings win the Sunday game and New Orleans loses
one of its final games, Minnesota is going to the playoffs. With
home advantage and playoffs in sight, it's hardly a surprise
that the Vikings are the favorite team this Sunday. At the
online sportsbook
Bodog Sports the point
spread on the Washington Redskins vs. Minnesota Vikings game
is currently sitting at -6.5 points chalk the Vikings with the
total at 40.5 points. The betting line on the Redskins is
underdog +215 and the line on Minnesota is posted at -255 with
the online bookie.
Both football teams match up well
statistically and whether the Vikings will be able to cover the
spread is uncertain. Minnesota's wide receiver Sidney Rice,
linebacker Dontarrious Thomas and cornerback Antoine Winfield
were all listed as questionable for the game against the
Redskins and will likely be a game-day decision. At the
Washington Redskins camp, quarterback Jason Campbell is out for
the Sunday football game and will be replaced by quarterback
Todd Collins, who did a good job for the 22-10 win last week
against the Giants. Washington's tight end Todd Yoder and safety
Pierson Prioleau are questionable, while wide receiver Keenan
McCardell was upgraded to probable. Also consider that
Washington is 3-6-1 against the spread in its last 10 games and
Minnesota is 4-1 against the spread in its last 5 games. The
total has gone UNDER in 6 of Minnesota's last 7 games when
playing Washington.
