Hunter2_1 Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 I think this will be an anti-climax. If it were the first game of the season, both teams at full strength, and in MIN - I'd have Vikings winning again. But with MIN getting embarrassed at home, Griffen out - and actually that OL looks pretty rough - I'm going for an easy LA win. 28-18 or something. Hope I'm wrong though, I like MIN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingsrule Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 It's week 4, I think "must win" is premature. But the Vikings are certainly feeling it now not having won two weeks in a row. It's difficult seeing a Vikings win at this point, but you never know. The talent is there, I just question if the team is there mentally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they lose this game and next week isnt going to get any easier. They could be looking at an 1-2-1 start. They will have to get to 10 wins at least to have a shot to win the division and or make the playoffs in the NFC. That means they would have to 9-3 the rest of the way. Seeing as they still have to play at Philly, they have the Saints, they have to play the Packers again, play the Bears and Lions twice, play the Dolphins, and go the the Patriots . Like thats not going to be easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malfatron Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 Rams 31 Vikings 7 teams are 0-10 when travelling west over 2 time zones on tnf. if this was sunday, it would have been closer to a coin flip. but tnf will be too much for minny to overcome.

Interesting that you say 'when traveling west'. Typically flying west is 1000% easier than flying east. I heard that teams were 1-12 when traveling more than two timezones on Thursday night football. All week ive been eyeing that rams -7... but now that the game is right around the corner, my gut is telling me the Vikings win outright *shrugs* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those two wideouts are very dangerous. Doesn't matter if Cousins has no time to throw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
