B/R Consensus Pick: Redskins (12-0)

Schottey: Redskins, 26-16

The Vikings put up a valiant effort in Week 9, but RGIII is looking better and better every game and that Minnesota D is still full of question marks it didn't have in 2012.

Bowen: Redskins, 23-16

RG3 can target and exploit the Vikings secondary off the read-option. Look for tight end Jordan Reed to put up some numbers on Thursday night.

Schalter: Redskins, 35-33

It's tough to get a read on either of these teams lately, and both defenses are giving up points in bunches. I think RG3 and his wideouts get more points than All Day.

Freeman: Redskins, 20-10

I think AP goes off and the Vikings still lose because of Ponder.

Miller: Redskins, 21-13

The Vikings can't find a reliable quarterback, and even against the bad Washington secondary the offense will be handcuffed.

Frenz: Redskins, 23-14

If a 140-yard performance from Adrian Peterson wasn't enough to get the Vikings a win against the Cowboys, they may not win more than one game this year. The Redskins offense has put up 30 points or more in two of its past three games.

Hangst: Redskins, 21-13

The Redskins have struggled on defense all year, but luckily for them, they next face the Vikings. The Vikings have little offense to speak of aside from Adrian Peterson, while the quarterback carousel has spun back to the mostly disappointing Christian Ponder for the time being. Washington should be able to move the ball well and score more than enough points to get a road win Thursday night.

Hansen: Redskins, 27-17

Washington has been playing better and can get back into the NFC East race with a road win. It's a lot easier to trust RG3 than any of the quarterbacks the Vikings can throw out there.

Bardeen: Redskins, 24-13

This could be a get-back-on-track game for RG3 and Washington's offense. Alfred Morris is good enough to gain yards on the ground against a better-than-most Vikings run defense, and RG3 should have no trouble throwing the football.

Gagnon: Redskins, 24-13

I don't know how the Vikings hung around as long as they did in Dallas, but the Redskins are worse than the Cowboys and this is in Minnesota. I still think the 'Skins pull it out because I'm not sure the Vikes can do enough to take advantage of that defense, but this game should be competitive for its duration.

Langland: Redskins, 21-17

Christian Ponder hasn't been able to rejuvenate the Vikings offense, and Adrian Peterson has been stuck in a rut. RG3 will lead Washington to a victory on the road.

Kruse: Redskins, 30-24

On a short week, the Redskins could hurt Minnesota with some big plays off the read-option. I think Christian Ponder continues to settle in, but there's no trusting the Vikings defense late in games.
