Two of the hotter under-the-radar teams in the NFL meet when the Minnesota Vikings (6-1) look to win their 5th-straight game when they go on the road to face the Washington Commanders (4-4) – winner of the 3 straight. Kickoff is at 1 p.m. Sunday at FedEx Field (FOX). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Vikings vs. Commanders odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.
Despite being 6-1 and separated from the pack in the NFC North, the Vikings are getting a lot of national attention. They’ve won 5 straight – all 1-score games that the Vikings find a way to put things together late to pull out wins. They also acquired TE T.J. Hockenson at the trade deadline, and he should provide another element for this offense.
After a 1-4 start, the Commanders have won 3 straight, including an upset 23-21 win over Green Bay in their last home game. With winning streaks on the line, both teams have a lot to play for as they look to solidify their chances of making the postseason.
