Week 8 of the NFL season kicks off tonight as the Minnesota Vikings take on the Los Angeles Rams.

According to FanDuel Sportsbook, the Vikings are 3 point favorites against the Rams. Minnesota entered last week as one of the league’s undefeated teams, but after their bye, they lost a tight one to the Lions 31-29, and now find themselves in second place. They have proven to be one of the best teams in the league after six games, though, so their stock doesn’t fall from that defeat.

The Rams, meanwhile, are a lackluster 2-4, but their whole division is struggling so they are not out of it. Still, things have been rough, including having to grind out a 20-15 victory over the Raiders last week. The Rams really need to up their play before I consider picking them against a good team, even at home. Vikings 26, Rams 17
