Both the Redskins and Vikings are 3-5 and coming off overtime victories in Week 8. Each team will be riding a momentum wave as they look to improve to 4-5. These are five bold predictions for their Week 9 matchup in Minnesota.

Jackson will face-off with Captain Munnerlyn and will go over 100 yards receiving for the fifth time this season. Jackson torched the Cowboys last week and will again look to make a 40-plus yard play against the Vikings.

The Vikings' defense was dominant against the Buccaneers and will have another big day facing the Redskins. Look for the Vikings to create two turnovers and have at least three sacks, as they currently rank second in the NFL in sacks with 25.

3. Alfred Morris Will Be Held Under 50 Yards Rushing

Morris hasn't had a single game over 100 yards rushing and has only gone over 20 carries twice this season. Only two backs have reached 100 yards against the Vikings' defense this season.

2. Jerick McKinnon Will Go Over 100 All-Purpose Yards

Since taking over the Vikings' starting running back role three weeks ago, McKinnon has flourished. McKinnon had 82 total yards against Detroit, 101 against Buffalo and 82 when facing Tampa Bay in just 55 total touches. The Vikings will again look to get McKinnon involved and establish the run game.

1. RGIII Will Return But Struggle

All signs point to Robert Griffin III being ready to return this week for the first time since dislocating his ankle in Week 2. If RGIII does indeed return this week against Minnesota he will likely struggle facing a team that likes to get after the quarterback.
