- In the Week 8 Thursday Night Football matchup, the Minnesota Vikings (5-2) face off against the Los Angeles Rams (2-4). The Vikings are coming off a tough loss to the Detroit Lions, while the Rams secured a crucial home win against the Raiders. Despite the Rams’ losing record, their offense is expected to get a significant boost with the anticipated return of star wide receiver Cooper Kupp.
The Vikings are slight favorites, but traveling to the West Coast on a short week could put them at a disadvantage. Analysts predict that the Rams, who have struggled due to injuries, might capitalize on home-field advantage, especially with Kupp back in the lineup. Key props for this game include Kyren Williams going over 75.5 rushing yards, given the Vikings’ weakened defense without linebacker Blake Cashman, and Cooper Kupp expected to surpass 68.5 receiving yards.
Expect a high-scoring game, with the over/under set at 48 points. A potential upset is brewing, with predictions leaning towards a 27-24 Rams victory .
