Best NFL bet for Vikings vs. Rams: Take Minnesota to win tight contest

Minnesota (14-3), as of Sunday, was a top-sportsbook consensus 2.5-point favorite with a game total hovering around 48 points. The Vikings were -140 on consensus moneyline while the Rams (10-7) were catching +115 odds. 

The 14-win Vikings are the winningest wild card team in league history, but they had to settle for the NFC’s fifth seed after losing to the Detroit Lions (15-2) last Sunday night in the battle for the NFC North crown.

The Rams, meanwhile, won the NFC West to earn the fourth seed and the right to host this wild card matchup.

It’s a rematch of a Week 8 game, won 30-20 by the host Rams. L.A. QB Matthew Stafford led the way in that contest, throwing for 279 yards and four touchdowns.

Minnesota, though, holds most of the statistical edges on paper as QB Sam Darnold and the Vikings enter Monday’s game with a top-10-ranked scoring offense (25.4 points per game) and defense (19.5 ppg) to go along with the league’s third-best turnover differential (+12) in the regular season.

L.A., meanwhile, finished the regular season ranked 20th in scoring (21.6), 17th in scoring defense (22.7) and 10th with a plus-6 turnover differential.

Unlike most of the previous wild card games this weekend, expect a close, well-played contest Monday night in the desert.

Also look for a Darnold rebound after an ugly 18-of-41, 166-yards, no-TD aerial performance against the Lions. 

That performance was clearly the exception, and not the rule, for the Pro Bowl QB this season. And so was Detroit’s 31-point outing — the most points the Vikings’ defense has surrendered this season.

Sean McVay’s Rams are anything but an easy out after having won nine of their final 11 regular season games with starters playing. But we’ll go with the Vikings (-2.5) laying less than a field goal at a now-neutral site.
