One of the most evenly matched games of Wild Card Weekend, it’s hard to pick a winner in Monday night’s matchup between the Los Angeles Rams and Minnesota Vikings. The Rams are the higher seed in the No. 4 spot in the NFC, but the Vikings are favored after going 14-3 in the regular season.
This battle could go either way and experts are mostly torn on their selections. According to Tallysight, 59% of experts are taking the Rams to win on Monday night and 64% are taking them to cover the spread as 2.5-point underdogs.
Surprisingly, 61% of them are picking the score to go over 48 points.
The Rams may be the underdogs in oddsmakers’ eyes, but experts seem to think they’re going to pull off the upset despite difficult circumstances with the fires causing devastation in Los Angeles.
It’s not an easy situation for anyone and the Rams had to suddenly change their plans for the week, leaving for Arizona on Friday night before practicing at the Cardinals’ facility on Saturday, but they’re managing it well and trying to make it as seamless a transition as possible.
