Minnesota Vikings vs. Washington Commanders Odds, Spread, Over/Under & Prediction for Week 9

Odds courtesy of FanDuel

Point Spread:

  • Vikings -3 (-115)
  • Commanders +3 (-105)

Moneyline:

  • Vikings -168
  • Commanders +142

Over/Under:

  • 43.5 points
    • Over -110
    • Under -110

Prediction:

Both the Vikings and Commanders have been involved in several one-score games this season, and both teams have performed well in these contests. Washington is 4-1 in one-score matchups this year, while Minnesota is 5-0 in games this season that have ended with a final margin that’s within one score.

So we should expect Sunday’s contest between the Vikings and Commanders to be a close one. Minnesota should be able to leave FedEx Field with a victory this weekend, but with the contest expected to be close, it’s probably best to place a bet on the Vikings’ moneyline instead of hoping that they cover the point spread.

Prediction: Vikings win
