Following a bad stretch of two losses in three games did Kirk Cousins and Minnesota caught a lot of heat. Cousins arrived in Minnesota two years ago with great fanfare. Indeed, he was touted as the final piece of a championship team. All of which made last year’s lackluster performance an NFL betting disappointment. Due to recent performance, both Cousins and the Purple Gang are getting a second look. By contrast, it’s hard to imagine a worse team in the NFC than the Washington Redskins. Coaches come and go but owner Danny Boy Snyder remains as the scourge of DC.
