Point Spread:
- Vikings -3 (-115)
- Commanders +3 (-105)

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
