On paper, it would appear that the Los Angeles Rams have long odds to beat the Minnesota Vikings on this week’s edition of Thursday Night Football. Kickoff from SoFi Stadium is set for 5:15 p.m. PST.
The Vikings are blessed with a Top 10 defense, featuring an aggressive, blitz-happy play style that has led to turnovers. Minnesota’s offense churns behind an efficient run game and has playmaker’s galore in the passing game. ESPN rates the offensive line 8th in pass block win rate and 19th in run win rate.
