The Rams Are The Team to Beat

At 3-1 odds of winning the 2019 Super Bowl, the payout is $30 for every $10 bet or $300 for every $100 bet.

Still, they are not perfect by any stretch of the imagination.  ESPN points out that, despite a formidable front that includes Aaron Donald and Ndamukong Suh, the Rams are allowing 5.0 yards per rush this season, ranked 27th in the NFL.

Were They Just Looking Ahead?

Minnesota can't be that bad can they?

The Vikings were destroyed by a Bills team that was supposed to be the worst in the league. The Bills aren't considered the worst any more, but their odds of winning the Super Bowl were currently at +45000.

Minnesota has great value of winning the 2019 Super Bowl at 18-1 odds thanks to this past Sunday's performance.  If you think that was just a fluke, lock this price in here.

Preview and Prediction for Rams vs. Vikings

From AthlonSports.com:

The Vikings are eager to put Sunday behind them. But a short week against the Rams, who didn’t have to leave LA after an intracity battle against the Chargers, is a tough opponent. The young Rams are eager to knock off a potential playoff rival, earning the head-to-head victory for tiebreaking purposes and establishing themselves as the unquestioned leader of the NFC.

Consider that with a win, the Rams could be three games ahead after four weeks in a NFC West that already has two wounded teams: the 49ers sans Jimmy Garoppolo and a winless, 0-3 Arizona Cardinals team starting rookie Josh Rosen. The division would appear firmly within their grasp with one of the NFL’s easiest schedules looming. It wouldn’t be outrageous to say they’d have a commanding edge on the conference’s top seed after just four games.

The Vikings, meanwhile, need Cousins to step up. But even his A game might not be enough playing against an offense with many more weapons. This time, the Vikings will watch their own glass slipper break.

Prediction: Rams 38, Vikings 27
