This is a very short week for Los Angeles after their last game was moved to Tuesday, a 20-10 win at home over Seattle. Now they head out on the road, and the Rams are 20-53 ATS after allowing 150 or fewer passing yards. Minnesota is well-coached and is still alive for a playoff spot after winning two straight. The offense is eighth in total yards, 10th in passing, and 12th in points behind QB Kirk Cousins (29 TDs, six INTs). The Vikings are 38-20 ATS as a home underdog and are 46-28 ATS against teams that average 260+ passing yards. This is a good matchup for the motivated home dog that has covered six in a row against the Rams. Play Minnesota. And after giving up 36 to Green Bay last month, the Rams have allowed 13.3 points per game over their last three contests with only Arizona eclipsing the 10-point mark. Dating back to last season, Los Angeles has gone 10-1 to the UNDER when facing bad defensive teams like the Vikings (teams giving up 24+ points per game). They are also 38-24 UNDER as a favorite in the Sean McVay era, including 16-6 UNDER the past two seasons. Under Mike Zimmer, the Vikings are 34-21 UNDER as an underdog and 19-9 UNDER following a road win. Back Minnesota and the UNDER.
