AFTERNOON SITUATIONAL SIDE (1:00 EST KICK!)
(NFL) LA Rams vs. Minnesota,
Point Spread: 3.50 | -110.00 Minnesota (Home)
Result: Loss
This is an 8* SITUATIONAL SIDE on the VIKINGS.

It's do or die for the Vikings today. They're 7-7. There will be less urgency from the Rams today though after their 20-10 win over the Seahawks last weekend moved them to 10-4.

The Rams average 27.6 PPG, while allowing 21.6.

The Vikings are off a much-needed 17-9 win over Chicago last time out. Kirk Cousins' numbers are among the elite in the NFL and I love him here at home to easily match his counterparts production.

The Vikes average 25.8 PPG, while allowing 24.4.

If history is any precedence though, then the Vikes have to be loving their chances today as they're 6-1 ATS their last seven in this series at home.

The Rams on the other hand are a poor 1-6 ATS in their last seven on the road.

I look for the desperate home side to risk life and limb to stay alive in the playoff race today.

Grab the points, the play is the VIKINGS.

Good luck, NP
