Minnesota Vikings vs. Washington Commanders Best Picks
It is extremely difficult to see a game in which Taylor Heinicke is able to throw for multiple touchdown passes in this game. He was only able to throw for one touchdown last week against the Colts.
Minnesota struggles against the pass, but Taylor Heinicke is not the same level of quarterback that Kyler Murray or Tua Tagovailoa are, which this Vikings team faced in their last two games.
Taylor Heinicke Under 1.5 Touchdown Passes (-160)
Justin Jefferson is fifth in the NFL with 52 receptions on the year and is getting the ball targeted in his direction a lot. In his last four games, he is averaging 10.5 targets, meaning he is getting open enough that Kirk Cousins is throwing it in his direction. Washington does not have a shutdown corner that can stop Jefferson from getting open so expect at least seven receptions out of him here.
Justin Jefferson Over 6.5 Receptions (+115)
Minnesota Vikings vs. Washington Commanders Prediction
While both sides are very close, the Minnesota Vikings have the edge at the quarterback position. This Vikings team is loaded with stars offensively and re able to score as they are averaging 28.6 points in their previous five games and this Commanders team does not have the firepower to match them and keep pace.
Minnesota is still fighting for the bye coming out of the NFC and need to keep winning to do so as they lost their head-to-head matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles and are already a game back in the standings so go with the Vikings to cover here.
Pick: Minnesota Vikings -3
