Prediction
I have to lay the three points here with Minnesota. The Rams offense has been awful so far this season and even the return of Cooper Kupp might not help. Matt Stafford is on pace for his worst QB rating since the 2012 season and the Rams are just 1-5 ATS. The Vikings have been a pleasant surprise this year, going both 5-1 straight-up and ATS. They’ve scored at least 23 points in every game this season and held their opponents to under 20 points four times. The Vikings are 8-1-3 in their last 12 road games and I think they get the job done this week.
Pick: Vikings -3
