After crawling out of the burning wreckage of last week, I have to like Washington in this one.
Although Ponder is the Vikes' best option under center, he's strictly a game manager and the loss of Kyle Rudolph will hurt against a very beatable secondary. While Peterson is always going to put up numbers (he WILL score tonight) he will have to cope with the loss of Phil Loadholt and Charlie Johnson blocking up front for him and the Minnesota O line looks shaky.
Washington looked to be getting their offense rolling last week and can continue against an underwhelming Vikings' defense. Griffin seems to be moving ok and Morris is carrying nicely, and if you add in Garcon, Reed and Hankerson and there seems more balance to their offense.
All Shanny has to do is call the game right.
Pick: Washington Redskins -1 @ 1.91
Pick: 1st TD Adrian Peterson @ 6.5
Pick: Anytime TD Leonard Hankerson @ 3.75; Pierre Garcon @ 2.5; Jordan Reed @ 3
