Will the Vikings bounce back and move to 6-1 or drop their second game in five days?
This feels like a rather important game for the Minnesota Vikings on Thursday night against the Rams. In an NFC North that's this competitive, shaking off Sunday's loss and getting to 6-1 would feel a heck of a lot better than losing for the second time in five days. With a win in their first primetime game of the season, the Vikings can show that their loss to the Lions was just a blip in their outstanding start to the season.
On paper, the Vikings are the better team in this matchup, which is why they're 3-point road favorites in Los Angeles. But the 2-4 Rams have played five one-score games in six outings and now get Cooper Kupp back from injury, so they can't be counted out.Will Ragatz: Vikings 30, Rams 16 The Vikings are pretty clearly the more talented of these two teams, and they'll be fired up to bounce back from Sunday's frustrating defeat. I'm expecting big games from Justin Jefferson and Aaron Jones against a Rams defense that's been bad this season. On the other side of the ball, LA's offensive line is rather weak, so look for Jonathan Greenard and Andrew Van Ginkel to be in the backfield all night.
