MACK'S NFL **TNF PRIME TIME!
(NFL) Vikings (MIN) vs. Rams (LAR),
Point Spread: 3.00 | -115.00 Rams (LAR) (Home)
Result: Win
The Rams have injuries but they are getting Kupp and Puca Canua back into the lineup which will take the pressure off of Stafford. He has playmakers to throw to now and has a 66.7% completion rate. The Rams are giving up 25 points on average to opponents but they are creating turnover opportunities and they sit 14th in the league. Minnesota blitzes the most over all other teams, but Stafford has been good under pressure over the years. He’s a veteran quarterback that can make quick decisions and think on his feet. The Rams can take advantage of some cracks in the Vikings pass defense which is giving up yardage totals of 389, 244, and 280, the third most in the league over the past three games. A pass heavy gameplan that McVey will come up with would give the Rams an edge as they have Puka and Kupp to throw too and their offensive line is also getting healthier. This is a letdown spot for Minnesota too off an emotional physical, divisional game and loss and teams are 0-4 SU/ATS after playing the Detroit Lions this season. It is also a short week and it usually favors the home team who doesn't have travel so it’s understandable on a short turnaround week if the Vikings lose another game. The Rams have covered 7 of their last ten games as home underdogs and the Rams have also won the last two games they played against the Vikings. The Vikings are 4-11 ATS off an upset loss to a division rival as a favorite on the road.

Best bet: take the points with the Rams
