Oddsmakers currently have the Redskins listed as 3-point favorites versus the Vikings, while the game’s total is sitting at 42.
Cousins threw for two scores and a season-high 458 yards in the draw with Cincinnati, but he will face the league’s top-ranked scoring defense without his Pro Bowl left tackle. Trent Williams will serve the first of his four-game suspension for violating the league’s substance abuse policy. Rookie Robert Kelley rushed for 87 yards against the Bengals in his first career start and will get the nod against Minnesota’s rugged defense. Deep threat DeSean Jackson missed practice against Thursday, but tight end Jordan Reed and Jamison Crowder each had nine receptions and a touchdown in London.
The Redskins were a 27-27 loser in their most recent outing on the road against the Bengals. They covered the +3-point spread as underdogs, while the total score (54) made winners of OVER bettors.

Washington is 4-1-1 SU in its last 6 games
The total has gone OVER in 11 of Washington’s last 13 games
Quarterback Sam Bradford has nine touchdowns against only one interception, but he has been limited to one scoring pass in five of his seven starts and doesn’t have the luxury of leaning on the running game without Adrian Peterson. Bradford went to the air 40 times in last week’s 22-16 overtime loss against visiting Detroit while Minnesota managed 78 yards rushing on 25 attempts. Stefon Diggs had a season-high 13 catches last week while Cordarrelle Patterson is averaging five receptions over the last five games. Nose tackle Linval Joseph and cornerbacks Captain Munnerlyn and Marcus Sherels did not practice Wednesday or Thursday.
Minnesota was a 22-16 loser in its last match at home against the Lions. They failed to cover the -5-point spread as favorites, while the total score of 38 sent UNDER bettors to the payout window.
Team record: 5-3 SU,5-3 ATS
