Thursday Night Football: Mims breaks down his keys to Redskins vs Vikings and shares his favorite Kirk Cousins prop bet

These are my keys to the game tonight between Minnesota and Washington:

Vikings are 5-2. Skins are 1-6.

The Skins are coming off a shutout loss to the Niners.

Vikings won a divisional game in a high scoring contest against the Lions.

Vikings are the favorite at -16.5.

The over/under total is 41.5.

The money line is Vikings -1200 and Skins +800.

The Vikings are the home team.

There are many story lines about this game. Kirk Cousins starting at quarterback against his former team. Case Keenum in a similar position. Both will want to prove the teams that they left should have committed to them. Adrian Peterson was the dominate runner in the NFL for more than a decade while with Minnesota.

The prop bet that looks appealing is Cousins over 245 in passing yardage. The price at -112.

The QB match up of Keenum against Cousins should get attention. Cousins should win. He is minus 148 while Keenum is +120. Cousins has gone over 300 yards in his last two games.

I have a lean toward the Vikings to win this game. My play would be to lay the points.

I am 9-4 in my selections on NFL Monday and Thursday. Follow me on Twitter. Use the #GTLivechat and I will follow you back. Share your thoughts about tonight’s game.
