The upcoming Week 14 matchup in the NFL features the struggling Minnesota Vikings hosting the Washington Commanders. Minnesota’s J.J. McCarthy is making his return from a concussion, while Commanders’ standout Jayden Daniels is back from a dislocated elbow. Both teams have struggled largely due to their quarterback situations, with the Commanders on a seven-game losing streak (3-9) and the Vikings losing six out of their last seven games (4-8).
Kickoff is scheduled for 1 PM ET at U.S. Bank Stadium. The Commanders are favored by 1.5 points, with a total set at 43.5 points. For in-depth betting analysis, check the NFL picks from the SportsLine Projection Model, which runs simulations of every NFL game 10,000 times.
