The Minnesota Vikings have been one of the best teams in the NFL all season long. They nearly snatched the NFC North crown from the Detroit Lions. But after blowout loss to their conference rival in the regular season finale, instead of having a BYE, they have been relegated to needing a Wild Card round victory to stay alive. Still, with a 13-2 record, this team has all the makings of a Super Bowl contender.
The Los Angeles Rams were knocked out of the playoffs by the Detroit Lions in the 2023 Wild Card round. And a year later, another NFC North team stands in their way. After losing to D.K. Metcalf and the Seattle Seahawks in their regular season finale, the Rams will have their hands full with another elite receiver in Justin Jefferson, who has been one of the best in the NFL this year. However, Matthew Stafford has proven time and again he has what it takes to lead the Rams and they’ll need to lean on him to have a shot at advancing.
The oddsmakers are giving the Vikings the edge 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.
