Vikings host redskins in a shootout!!!

[MR.HARRYtheHAT]

Home teams are usually a safe bet when it comes to Thursday Night Football. The visiting team gets one day less to prepare, which is even more of a detriment on a short week. Skins Griffin, by contrast, is completing 59 percent with nine TDs, eight INTs and a 79.2 rating. No. 5-ranked rushing attack, Washington's offense is beginning to come together. Tight end Jordan Reed has emerged as a go-to threat in the middle for quarter back Robert Griffin III, who appears to be improving every week. But he is finding rookie TE Jordan Reed of Florida, who has 17 catches for 224 yards in the past two games. Washington has the worst average starting field position in the league (22.7-yard line). Washington early money moved this line to -3 Monday at the Vegas Books, but it’s back down to -2.5 pretty much every book in Las Vegas. The LVH moved the total up the ladder from its opening of 48.5 to 50, although we're still seeing a range from 48.5 to 50. My formula and my power rating differentials- points is Redskins 97 Vikings 90.5 a 6 point and half difference & also a short week which was considered. My Prediction Redskins win 31-21 & Redskins -2 1/2

Wide receiver Pierre Garcon has emerged as his favorite weapon for Redskins QB Robert Griffin III and should see a healthy dose of targets. And when Griffins isn't throwing, running back Alfred Morris will be leading the ground game. Redskins QB Robert Griffin III hasn't been playing at the level he was on during his rookie season, but he's still a dynamic play-maker with developing weapons at his side. He should be able to put up some nice numbers against a Vikings defense that allows 291.1 yards per game through the air. Redskins should cover by 10+ according to my analysis and my formulas.
STREAKS, STATS AND NOTES FROM MY ANALYSIS AND FORMULAS - Teams meet for fourth straight year, longest streak in history of series, but this is just third visit by Redskins to Minnesota since playoff game there after 1992 season. Vikings won in 1998, and Redskins won in 2007. ... Of 22 all-time meetings, five have come in postseason. ... Redskins QB Robert Griffin III had breakout against Vikings last year as rookie with TD passing plus two TDs rushing, including 76-yard scoring scamper to seal victory.
STREAKS, STATS AND NOTES FROM MY ANALYSIS AND FORMULAS- Redskins tied for NFL lead with average of 5 yards rushing per attempt. ... Griffin's comeback from ACL surgery has been slow, with only nine TD passes and nine INTs. The 2012 AP Offensive Rookie of the Year has no TDs rushing and has lost three fumbles. Still, he's on pace for 4,338 yards passing, which would set franchise record. ... WR Pierre Garcon, with 54 catches, is on pace to break Art Monk's franchise mark of 106 receptions in 1984. ... TE Jordan Reed leads NFL rookies with 38 catches. ... Even after 25 carries by Adrian Peterson last week against Cowboys, Vikings just 25th in league in rushing attempts. ... Peterson is on pace for 1,422 yards rushing, 675 fewer than last year. ... TE Kyle Rudolph, who has three of team's six TD receptions, will miss next four to six games because of broken left foot. ... Vikings DBs have just three INTs, two by injured S Harrison Smith.

If Washington????? (3-5) is to get into the NFC East race,now is the time. The Redskins face Minnesota (1-7) this week and Philadelphia (4-5) next. Skins Robert Griffin III still isn’t sharp, with nine touchdown passes, nine interceptions,three lost fumbles and no rushing scores, but a fifth-ranked offense isn’t the problem. The Skins haven’t stopped anybody, allowing 400 yards and 32 points per game. WR Pierre Garcon is on pace for a 100-catch season, and TE Jordan Reed tops all rookies with 38 receptions.Vikings the spin-a-wheel approach at quarterback lands on Christian Ponder for the second week in a row. He nearly engineered an upset at Dallas on Sunday. The Vikings’ offensive woes they have an NFL ranking of 27th are exceeded only by their defensive shortcomings. Adrian Peterson is on pace for 1,422 yards, 675 fewer than last year,and TE Kyle Rudolph will miss at least a month with a broken foot.
