Minnesota

Well the Vikings finally did it, firing coach Childress earlier this week.  Leslie Frazier is the new man in charge and it will be interesting to see what he can do, especially since he has said he is sticking with Favre.  Many have thought that Frazier was in line for a job and if you forget the circumstances of the Vikings today this is a pretty good one.  The Vikings have a lot of talent and maybe they have found the right guy to make it work.

Considering he is stuck with him, it was smart of Frazier to say Favre is his guy.  Anything other than that would have only added to the storm.  I am not sure what kind of relationship they have but I think Frazier is less likely to force the aging QB into having to win games for him.  I hope Adrian Peterson is in shape because if I was Frazier I would turn All Day into All Season.  Its the best chance they have of winning.

These teams haven’t met since 2007 but have much in common.  They are both disappointing this year and are led by QBs whose best years are behind them.  The Vikings had to make a move with Childress as things were getting more toxic by the second.  I am sure someone has the numbers on this one way or the other but I think teams can get a boost in that first game after a coaching change and I expect Minnesota to be real sharp this week.

Washington

The Redskins are probably happy that all the attention this week has been on their opponents.  At 5-5 they still have a chance to challenge for a playoff spot but it doesn’t look god with the Giants and Eagles playing well and the Redskins not.  They too have been disappointed with the play of their QB and rightfully so.  Still he is not even close to the only problem on this disappointing team.

One of the big problems has been in the backfield where Clinton Portis and Ryan Torain are unlikely to play this weekend.  As a result the running chores will fall to Keiland Williams and James Davis.  Williams has been OK since forced into duty but hasn’t been able to break many big plays for the Skins whose attack is pretty anemic these days.  He is physical but doesn’t scare opponents.  Neither does Davis and both will find it tough sledding against the 8th ranked run defense in the league.

The Vikings have yet to win on the road this year which plays to the Redskins favour.  But if Washington is going to win they are going to have to match the emotion and energy that the Vikings are sure to bring on Sunday.  That kind of leadership is not the style of Donovan McNabb or coach Shanahan.  That is just one of the many reasons that Washington will lose on Sunday.

The Pick: The hopped up Vikes are a great play this week.
