What’s up everyone it’s your boy Lavoie here again. I am running a bit of a cold streak right now thanks in large part to the goddamn Cardinals, but you know what they say, you’re either hot or your due. So with the above line info helping us out, let’s turn this around in week 16.
The Vikings host the Rams on Sunday coming off of a greasy win over the incompetent Bears, one in which they were out gained 370-193 and averaged 3.2 yards per play but still won largely due to forcing three turnovers. What a mess in primetime..
Minnesota Vikings
So let’s start with these boys in purple. This is a roster with an immense amount of talent that just cannot optimize it whatsoever. They get their wins almost always by one score and blow leads like it’s going outta style.
Mike Zimmer has definitely got to be in the hot seat at this point because as talented as this team is with Cook, Jefferson, Thielen and some top dogs on defense they are consistently under performing mostly due to horrible play calling and game planning.
Los Angeles Rams
The Rams on the other hand are an extremely well coached team. They have had some games in primetime this season where they have looked human, but make no mistake about it this team is poised for a super bowl run.
The acquisition of Von Miller at the deadline has beefed up on already outstanding pass rush, and OBJ has scored a touchdown in 3 straight games making their receiving unit very scary moving forward.
NFL Betting Trends:
- The Rams are 6-7 against the spread (ATS) in their last 13 games.

I do think betting trends are useful information but I also think you should enter every game looking at it as a stand alone situation. This particular one sees a team in the hunt for the 1st seed in their division and potential home field advantage playing a team that should have lost to the Nagy lead Bears and barely squeaked out of Chicago with a win.
The Rams are a well oiled machine and should be getting all their studs back from the covid protocols before this matchup. The one weakness they do have however is their lack of a rushing attack. Ranking among the worst in the league by most metrics, they still have the #1 points per play average and #1 yards per play ranking.
They are also 60% in the red zone , convert 41% of their 3rd down opportunities and 46% of their 4th down tries so getting off the field is going to be tough for these Vikings who are allowing 380 yards per game to opposing teams.
I am taking the Rams here all day, I have no faith in the Vikings to be successful in this game against a far better team. Hammer the Rams.. Best of luck! As always be safe out there with Omicron ripping through the population and keep an eye on the lineups before you lay your bets!
