Short week & long travel hurts the Vikings. However, Dalvin Cook will be the freshest guy on the field. Cousins and the offense should come out firing, with a mental edge to overcome the short rest and travel, after getting embarrassed at home by the Bills.
Rams secondary clearly banged up. Good luck covering Thielen who will have a 6” advantage on Robey-Coleman, or Rudolph also with 6” height advantage. Oh yeah, or Diggs against a backup cb for half the game.
While the Rams defensive front is loaded, they actually are near the bottom of the league in sacks (29th!) - even with having played against 2 of the bottom 5 O-lines in pass-heavy game scripts.
Rams have looked like the best team in NFL so far, but they haven’t played a team even close to the caliber of Vikings - especially the Vikings D.
I give the Vikings a very good chance at winning outright, and even better chance of losing by less than 7.
