The Minnesota Vikings come into this matchup as one of the hottest teams in the NFL with a 13-2 record, yet they still find themselves competing in the Wild Card round. However, the heroics of Sam Darnold and Justin Jefferson still make them one of the most dangerous teams in the playoff field. However their defense remains a cause for concern, they ranked just 16th in total defense allowing 335 yards per game.
The Los Angeles Rams were unable to make a miracle comeback and capture the NFC West. But they were able to qualify for the postseason. Still they will have their hands full with a Vikings offense that has been among the hottest in the NFL this year. And that doesn’t bode well for a Rams defense that ranks 26th overall in the NFL this season allowing just over 353 yards per game.
The Vikings are the safe bet coming into this one. Minnesota comes in as the slight favorite in this matchup by a close 2.5-point margin over Los Angeles. Oddsmakers also believe that this matchup will be a low-scoring affair with the over/under marked at 47.5 points.
So whether you are rooting for a clear favorite or hoping for a miracle by the underdog, the most important thing to remember is that you must be in it to win it.
