For what it's worth:

ASHBURN, Va. (AP) -- Robert Griffin III felt good enough to attend something called a Rookie Success Program meeting Monday morning and seemed, by all accounts, to be doing just fine on the day after suffering his first NFL concussion.
Griffin still has to complete the league's mandated return-to-play protocol before he's cleared for practice, but his Washington Redskins teammates and coach Mike Shanahan were optimistic the Heisman Trophy winner will be able to play in this week's game against the Minnesota Vikings.
''We should find out in the next few days exactly what happens,'' Shanahan said. ''Right now it looks good. I'm not really sure if it stays that way. The professionals will monitor his situation and let us know if able he's able to play or not. We surely have nothing to do with it.''

I think all this winning will finally get into the players' heads.
Skins - 20
Vikes - 17

There has never been a more pessimistic fanbase.
We won our last 3 games by at least a touchdown, 2 of them by double digits, the last one was the team's first legit blowout win in about two years...
Combined Score Over The Past 3 Wins
Vikings: 74
Opponents: 33
I think you have to predict a 10 point Vikings win here.

Why? Nobody else has defeated the Redskins by more than 8, including the undefeated Falcons. It's hardly pessimistic to expect this to be a close, one score game. That's essentially all the Redskins have played thus far in 2012.

Have the Redskins played a TOP team like us? (Time of Possesion)? It could be that the final score is 14-24 or 10-20 simply because of us throwing check downs and pounding it in. Doesn't AP usually light them up?
I was going to hunt stats but I have to get going.

I said to myself before the Lions game that the Vikings would have trouble if Stafford started and the Vikings ended up winning that game. I think the same principle could be applied to RGIII and the Redskins for this game.

The Skins are the top running team in the league which plays into our strength on Def. Even if RGIII plays, I suspect he will not be 100%. Either way, another big win for the Vikings on the road this time by a score of 27-10. I see a big day for AP as well.

They just played the Falcons, who are 6th in the league in ToP and they also played the Bengals, who are ranked 15th. The Redskins lost both of those games.

Vikings win this one. 31-13. RGIII runs in the Skins only touchdown from 18 yards out. Other than that we dominate the game. Percy goes over 100 yards. AD goes over 100 yards. Rudolph adds another TD catch. Defense gets 2 turnovers. We dominate this game from start to finish.

Harvin+Ponder should totally victimize them too. Both Harvin and Peterson will have monster games against Washington. This is just a team that we murder when we play them.
30-13 Vikings.
Agree , we obliterate them .

Man, people are really drinking the purple Kool-Aid! That's cool... this is a Vikings board, after all. The Vikes might win by 2+ scores if RGIII doesn't play but even then, I doubt it. I'll be very surprised if this isn't a close game.

You mean gets a TD and then gets injured? Happened in 2010 as well. Their D isn't that good and hopefully we keep a spy on RG3 or have Winfield blitz a bunch
