Best Bet: Washington Commanders +3 (+100)

As much as I loved the Vikings last week, I am fading them this week. I know that the Vikings should be favorites on the road in this matchup, however, not by a field goal or more. How can you possibly trust the Vikings? They should have been up and in position to route the Cardinals last week at home, yet the the Cards were driving late with a chance to tie. Yes, they covered the line but the Cardinals were somehow in that game. Also, this is Kirk Cousins first time back in Washington since he left for Minnesota. I think he will be pressing to prove some sort of point and that can only lead to calamity. Washington has the 2nd overall rush defense DVOA, which means we will see even more Kirk passes. I expect the Washington crowd to actually show up for this game, if for nothing else, Dan Snyder might actually sell the team. Taylor Heinecke has the Commanders rolling and I think they may win this game outright. Give me the points at home with a Commanders team trying to go above .500.
