Nearly 80 Percent of Bets on Vikings Thursday Night in Game vs. Rams
Just over 60% of the money and just shy of 80% of all wagering was coming in on the Minnesota Vikings for Thursday night's game against the LA Rams. All action courtesy of the AcePerHead.com Odds Feed, exclusive to Gambling911.com.
The line had not moved off the 3 (Vikings favored) all week long. Sagarin gives us a number of 5.79, indicating a pretty decent sized underlay here. Favorites have performed especially well with our model when the line is steady 3.
The Vikings will be without LB Blake Cashman, who suffered a toe injury. The Vikings are officially listing TE T.J. Hockenson as questionable for Thursday night's game.
Meanwhile, the Rams will be celebrating the return of Cooper Kupp. This component is not yet factored into the Sagarin Ratings and will be considered a major boost to the offense. This won't help LA's defensive woes however.

In the all-time regular season series between the teams, the Vikings own a 22-16-2 advantage but the Rams have won the last two meetings.
Vikings Player to Watch
Kicker Will Reichard. The rookie has not missed a kick yet, hitting three field goals last week including a 57-yarder. The sixth-round draft pick from Alabama is 18 for 18 on extra points and 12 for 12 on field goals this season.
Rams Player to Watch
S Jaylen McCollough. The rookie undrafted free agent has been sensational over the past two games, following up his pick-6 against Green Bay by intercepting Las Vegas QB Gardner Minshew twice. McCollough, a 24-year-old who played his college ball at Tennessee, is seeing a steady uptick in his snaps and that should continue going forward.
Key Matchup
Rams head coach Sean McVay vs. Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores. There won’t be many coaching chess matches in the NFL this season that are as intriguing as this one. Minnesota will throw a variety of blitzes and simulated pressures at quarterback Matthew Stafford, especially on second down, in an effort to get the offense behind the chains. McVay will counter with lots of motion, trying to get the Vikings to tip off their coverages. Both men will be trying to set up the other to land a tactical knockout blow in the critical moments.
