Rams vs Vikings
By: Cameron DaSilva | 9 hours ago Follow @camdasilva
Through the first nine games of the season, the Los Angeles Rams were underdogs just twice: on the road against the Cowboys and Jaguars. That’s it.
Well, coming off of a 26-point home win over the Texans, Los Angeles will be an underdog for the third time this season when they travel to Minnesota in Week 11. The Vikings are also 7-2 despite losing their starting quarterback and running back, proving to be among the NFL’s best.
According to Vegas Insider, the Vikings are 2.5-point favorites over the Rams as of now, though that line can change before kickoff.
It’s a bit surprising to see the Rams listed as underdogs, considering they were just 12-point favorites against the Texans on Sunday. Of course, facing a 7-2 team on the road is very different than playing a 3-5 team at home, but the Rams seem to be one of the league’s best teams after 10 weeks.
Sunday’s showdown with the Vikings will undoubtedly be the Rams’ toughest test yet. Minnesota is a tough place to play as a road team, while the Vikings are getting good play from Case Keenum and his cast of dynamic receivers.
This season, Keenum and Goff have combined to throw 27 touchdown passes, nine interceptions and rack up 4,299 yards. They each have their teams sitting at 7-2, as well. Last year, they had 14 touchdown passes and 18 interceptions with a combined record of 4-12.
The post-Jeff Fisher era has been kind to both quarterbacks who have found success with their current head coaches.
#HelmetHornsMatter
“Well, the color is good, I like the metallic blue,” Youngblood recently said while laughing, via NFL Journal. “The horn is terrible. It looks like a ‘C.’ When I first saw it on the logo I honestly thought it was a Charger logo.
“Now when I see it on the helmet, it just isn’t a ram horn. There is no distinct curl like a mature ram horn. I don’t know how the Rams could get that wrong. That is your symbol and it has been for what? Seventy years or more? Longer than I have been alive? It’s just not us, it’s not the Rams.”---Mr. Ram Jack Youngblood
