TNF Week 4 Preview- Vikings at Rams

Tonight the Rams are taking on the Vikings favored by a touchdown at home. The Vikings are coming off the blowout by the Bills even though they were favored by 16.5 points. They were completely dominated by a rookie Quarterback who most doubted until then. The Rams had an impressive victory over the Chargers winning the battle of LA. But tonight is a Thursday night game and those are always weird and wonky. The way these teams are going suggests the Rams are winning by about 20 or 30. But this is the perfect bounce back spot for the Vikings. These guys are going to be fired up. They just got embarrassed by the Bills and now have to play against the betting favorite to win the Super Bowl. If the Vikings don't come out firing they aren't really contenders. It's not saying that if the Vikings lose they are done. If they play badly in an important game it's concerning.

The case for the Rams

They are on fire and just follow the trend of this team. They are the best team in football. They're too balanced and talented in every aspect. If it's smart and safe the Rams are the right choice.

The case for the Vikings

Marcus Peters is hobbled and Aqib Talib is out so this is a big advantage for the Vikings. Expect big games from Adam Thielen and/or Stefon Diggs. This Vikings team should be ready to play. The risky play is the Vikings but they have the talent and ability to do this.

Verdict

Rams 27 Vikings 23
