Money Line Pick
WAS Commanders Win(+110)

The Minnesota Vikings are coming off a disastrous performance last weekend as they prepare to host the Washington Commanders in Week 14 of the NFL season on Sunday afternoon. Playing with someone named Max Brosmer at quarterback, Minnesota got shut out by Seattle 26-0. J.J. McCarthy was in the NFL’s concussion protocol and Carson Wentz is for the season, so head coach Kevin O’Connell did not really have any other option. Brosmer, an undrafted rookie, completed only 19 of 30 passes for an anemic 126 yards with zero touchdowns and a whopping 4 interceptions – 1 of which was returned for a touchdown. McCarthy is expected to be back under center this weekend, but even he has been terrible in what has been his first professional season. As such, my Commanders vs Vikings pick is the visitors on the money line.

It is true that Washington is nothing special, but at least it is being competitive. The Commanders have lost back-to-back overtime affairs with the Dolphins (16-13) and Broncos (27-26). Minnesota has lost its last 2 contests by a combined score of 49-6. The Vikings are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 overall and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 home games. I expect that trend to continue, but let’s not even bother with the 1.5 points. Washington has a great chance to win outright.

Game Totals Pick
Under 42.5(-112)

Washington has been dealing with a quarterback carousel of its own, with Jayden Daniels having dealt with multiple injuries throughout the 2025 campaign. A dislocated elbow is what has sidelined the former Heisman Trophy winner since Week 9, but he reportedly has a chance to play on Sunday. How good of a chance is up for debate — but certainly not a great one. Whatever the case, either Marcus Mariota or a banged-up Daniels will be under center for head coach Dan Quinn’s squad. Either situation is not particularly ideal. Mariota has been unspectacular in 6 starts this year, with 1,349 yards through the air to go along with 9 touchdowns and 6 interceptions.

For the Vikings, McCarthy would obviously be superior to Brosmer — but that’s not exactly saying a lot! McCarthy, who is also a rookie since he missed all of 2024 due to a torn ACL, has been awful. His completion percentage stands at 54.1 and he has a ridiculous 4 more interceptions (10) than TD passes (6). Minnesota isn’t going to get shut out because Washington’s defense is much worse than Seattle’s, but there is no reason to have any confidence in an offense led by McCarthy…or Brosmer, for that matter.
