Minnesota Vikings at Washington Redskins 2010 NFL Predictions, Odds, and Picks Week 12: Interim head football coach Leslie Frazier will lead the Minnesota Vikings on the road to FedEx Field to take on the Washington Redskins on Sunday at 1:00 PM ET on FOX Sports. The Vikings come in at 3-7 3rd place in the NFC North hoping to have the Cowboys effect of firing the head coach and getting wins from a rejuvenated team while the Redskins are at 5-5 3rd place in the NFC East and battling through a series of injuries. Future Hall of Famer quarterback Brett Favre has struggled this season with only 10 touchdowns to 17 picks and a 69.8 passer rating that is nearly at the bottom of the league. Part of that could be the old guy battling injuries and part his disagreement with Chilly about the play calling but he hopes to finish out the season and keep his starting game streak alive. “We have six games left, I hope to finish them all,” Favre said. “Let me make that clear. I want to finish on a high note and if my body will allow me and I can play up to my expectations … I want to do it.” The odds makers at SGB Global have the Minnesota Vikings -1 1/2 point favorites on the road at the Washington Redskins.
