The Minnesota Vikings were hot heading into Week 10 and walked away with the win against Washington. Entering Week 11 they had posted a 7-2 record Straight Up and 6-3 record Against The Spread. The Vikings were riding a 5-game win streak. Their odds of winning the NFC North were set at -240 and could still hold close to this price heading into Week 11 with both Detroit and Green Bay winning their respective games as well.
Case Keenum threw a career-high four touchdown passes for Minnesota while Adam Thielen racked up 166 receiving yards in a 38-30 road victory against Washington.
“It was a good win today,” Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer told KFAN radio. “We played great offensively until made a couple mistakes in the third quarter. I thought we played excellent offensively. They’re a very good offensive team and they hit a couple big plays on us against our defense. Then we kind of let them back in it, so it made it a little tight, but those are the things we can learn from.” The Vikings won without defensive end Everson Griffen (foot injury).
Next week’s Rams vs. Vikings game, one that few had marked on their early calendars, will prove critical in determining the NFC Playoff picture.
The Week 11 line for the Rams-Vikings game should open at -3.
