The second duel I’m proposing today begins early and will be a very exciting and balanced one. Redskins receive the Minneapolis visit, in a game we will see a maximum incarnation. Why do they say that? Because in this duel I’m thinking first of all to the two defenses: the one in Minnesota, which ranks 4th in the NFL and the one in D.C. which improves from match to match (18th place today). Minnesota has four consecutive victories and is a leader in NFC North, the last success coming two weeks ago in London with Browns.
It sounds good about what I said above about Vikings, but in that match in London I saw some weaknesses: with Bradford and Bridgewater injured, QB is currently occupied by Keenum, who personally did not impress me. His main weapon will be Stephon Diggs (WR), because rushing yards are real problems, and if Skins are careful they can produce the interceptions they need. Wasington Redksins (4-4) is on 3 in the NFC East, after Eagles (8-1) and Cowboys (5-3), but last step they think they have just “reset”, winning where few teams can do : “In the hawks nest”, 17-14 being the score in Seattle. With Kirk Cousins at Timon and a number of offensive weapons, I trust Washington will keep this match “close” and even have a chance to win in the final minutes.
