Vikings at Rams picks and predictions

Prediction

Vikings 24, Rams 20

Moneyline

The Vikings faced their 1st real test of adversity Sunday, having only trailed for 3 minutes and 26 seconds in their previous 5 games combined. They still look like one of the best teams in football, but they’re also coming off a physical game against the Lions, and crazy things tend to happen in Thursday games.

They should win this game, but the ML of -160 isn’t worth playing on a short week. PASS.

Against the spread

These 2 teams are very different when it comes to covering the spread. The Vikings are 5-1, while the Rams are just 1-5, with the only cover coming in their miraculous win over the San Francisco 49ers in Week 3.

The Vikings have been the better team all season and they should be able to cover the 3-point spread on the road against a banged-up Rams team. BET VIKINGS -3 (-105).

Over/Under

The total has only gone Over in 2 of the Vikings’ 6 games this season and in 3 of the Rams’ 6, so the Under has been the better bet for both of these teams in 2024. It’s a prime-time game on a short week with a bad Rams offense on one side and a great Vikings defense on the other.

Even with Kupp back, the UNDER 48 (-110) is the better way to play this side.

Los Angeles Rams at Minnesota Vikings odds, picks and prediction

The Los Angeles Rams (10-4) continue their quest for the NFC West title as they travel to play the Minnesota Vikings (7-7) at 1 p.m. ET Sunday at US Bank Stadium. Below, we look at the Rams vs. Vikings odds and lines, and make our best NFL picks, predictions and bets.

Thanks to Arizona struggling in recent weeks, the Rams have a chance of catching them and are still alive in the chase for the No. 1 seed in the NFC.

The Vikings continue to deal with players being sidelined by COVID-19 protocol – the latest being star running back Dalvin Cook, who will miss Sunday’s game.

Rams at Vikings odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Rams 27, Vikings 24

Money line

If I had to make a small wager on this one, I would lean toward the Rams because -175 isn’t an absurd amount to give away. Personally, I would be more likely to avoid this, but if you’re making a bet, the smart money is on the RAMS (-175)

Against the spread

This is a tough spread because it should be about spot on. The one caveat I would make is that the Rams are capable of blowing out the Vikings. Minnesota is not capable of blowing out the Rams, especially being without Cook and possibly Thielen. I see this being a tight game where Minnesota scores late to get it back to within reach, but the Rams grind out the clock late. Getting the Vikings at home and more than a field goal is too tempting to pass for a team with their season (and possibly the jobs of their head coach and G.M.) on the line. An organizational shakeup is often the biggest motivation players and coaches need to take chances and pull out all the stops. VIKINGS +3.5 (-120)

Over/Under

This is one of the higher Over/Under numbers on the board because both teams are capable of putting up points, and if one team gets ahead by double digits at some point, both teams could abandon the run and start throwing on every down. Topping 48.5 points is never easy, but this game has the look of a back-and-forth game with big plays in the passing game and turnovers that tip the balance. OVER 48.5 (-112)
