The Washington Redskins are alone in last place in the NFC East, and yet they're also just one game out of first. With the Cowboys, Giants and Eagles in tough matches against 2011 playoff teams this weekend, the Redskins could have a big opportunity to make a leap with a home affair against the Minnesota Vikings.

Here's my final preview, along with a prediction that I'd advise you to avoid using at Vegas sportsbooks. 

What Washington must do to win, offensive edition

Protect Robert Griffin III by establishing balance on offense and not allowing Jared Allen and the Vikings to pin their ears back.

What Washington must do to win, defensive edition

Limit Adrian Peterson and get enough pressure to prevent Christian Ponder from playing catch with Percy Harvin.

How Washington can lose

By losing Griffin again or by failing to slow down Peterson and/or Harvin.

Five most important non-quarterbacks

Jarvis Jenkins, Stephen Bowen, Ryan Kerrigan, Trent Williams, Alfred Morris

Jenkins and Bowen will be essential in the plan to slow down Peterson, while Kerrigan has to lead an effective pass rush. Williams is one of many who will have to protect Griffin, but he's responsible for his blind side. Morris has to find holes against one of the league's strongest run defenses. 

Ultimately, Washington's the more talented team. I know being at home hasn't mattered much in recent seasons, but now that they have Griffin and a much stronger offense, I think playing at FedEx Field will start becoming a factor again.

If Griffin doesn't go, they lose. But I think RG3 is going to play.

Redskins 23, Vikings 17
