Vikings Consistent Offense

The Vikings are the 2nd-best team in the NFC and are 2-0 on the road. The Minnesota offense is averaging around 30 PPG, and their recent games have been closely contested. The Vikings’ strength of schedule has been decent, and the defense has been adequate. In road games, the Vikings have excelled at getting the offense going early and controlling the pace of the game.

Minnesota just suffered their 1st loss of the season against the Lions at home, falling 31-29. The Vikings started strong, but the Lions had an impressive 2nd quarter, scoring 21 points. Minnesota QB Sam Darnold had only 5 incomplete passes and played a clean game, despite throwing 1 interception. This was a tough-luck loss for Minnesota, and they are eager to get back in the win column and possibly tighten up their defense.

Rams Still Fighting

The Rams are still banged up and missing key players on both sides of the ball. Los Angeles is last in their division and 2-1 at home. Despite the adversity, most of the Rams’ games this season have been decided by 6 points or fewer. They currently rank 3rd to last in scoring in the NFC, with 114 points.

Los Angeles recently beat the below-average Raiders at home, 20-15. Interestingly, the Rams lost in the main offensive categories. However, the Los Angeles defense forced 4 turnovers and performed well on 3rd down. This was a somewhat lackluster game for the offense, and they will need to be more efficient if they want to remain competitive against the Vikings.

Vikings vs Rams Prediction

The Vikings recently suffered a hard-fought loss against their division rival, and just like that, they are now chasing the Lions in the division. Minnesota’s offense is healthy and still trending upward, unlike the Rams, who are missing their best offensive players and barely managed to get by the struggling Raiders. The Vikings are expected to set the tone early and win this game by at least 10 to 14 points.
