The Minnesota Vikings (14-3) are one of the revelations of the 2024 NFL season, with the rehabilitation of a talent that seemed finished, quarterback Sam Darnold, to the point that until the last game of the season they played for the NFC North title with the Detroit Lions and, even though they only lost three games all season, they will have to face a tough visit to Los Angeles Rams.
The Rams (10-7) took advantage of the San Francisco 49ers’ collapse and managed to put together a 10-win season, enough to win the NFC West

The combination anticipates a game of explosive offenses, so the NFL decided to schedule it as the last game of Super Wild Card Weekend, on Monday in the last Monday Night Football of the 2024 season
The Vikings looked like a very solid team led by coach Kevin O’Connell, who has taken the Vikes to the playoffs for the second time in the last five years. However, in 2022, they disappointed with a surprise loss to the New York Giants in the Wild Card Round (34-31).
While the Rams have accelerated their rebuild after winning the Super Bowl in the 2021 season, they are still led by Matthew Stafford, who is looking to repeat in the final stretch of his career. Although they are not favorites against teams like the Lions or the Eagles, they are not an easy team to beat
Both teams already met to open Week 8 with a 30-20 victory for the Rams at home, in the only negative streak that Minnesota had in the season, where they lost consecutive games in weeks 7 and 8. However, the game looks very even, as even with a better record, the Vikings were the fifth seed in the NFC, while the Rams are the divisional champion with the worst record and only got the fourth seed
In the odds, however, the Vikings are favored by 2.5 points, even though the home team usually defaults to a favorable -3 point odds, simply by playing at home. Experts doubt that Minnesota will be a heavy favorite on Monday in Inglewood
