NFL Week 9 Early Odds, Picks & Predictions: Vikings vs. Commanders

Minnesota Vikings vs. Washington Commanders

The Minnesota Vikings have been a quiet 5-1 team. The NFC East is getting a lot of love. But the Vikings? People already forget they’re 5-1 and lead the NFC North by multiple games.

Minnesota will take on the Arizona Cardinals, at home, on Sunday, as -3.5-point favorites. This isn’t going to be an easy game for the Vikings, but a win would prove that Minnesota is seriously a contending team.

Meanwhile, the Washington Commanders will face the Indianapolis Colts as 2.5-point underdogs. Sam Ehlinger is starting for the Colts this week. If the Colts earn a win with Ehlinger under center, the line for the Vikings/Commanders game will shift more in favor of the Vikings.

Bet: Vikings -2.5 (-110)
