There's a lot of love for the Rams and for good reason -- they've beaten their last four opponents by a combined 103 points. But the Vikings are no slouch either, and unlike the Rams, they've actually beaten four competent defenses in their last five outings. At home giving just a single point with Los Angeles playing a 1 p.m. kickoff on the road, there's plenty of value in Minnesota.

Look for the Vikings' underrated offense to continue to shine and put the pressure on second-year Rams quarterback Jared Goff. Grab the value here on the Vikings.

This is a tough spot for the Rams, as they head to Minnesota to face one of the league's best defenses in a battle of 7-2 teams. But why aren't the Vikings three-point favorites here? Their offense is hitting its stride, consistently getting into scoring territory no matter the opponent. Their defense hadn't allowed more than 17 points in any of their previous six games before Washington managed 30. And the Rams' resume is more suspect, crushing bad teams like the Cardinals, Giants and Texans in recent weeks. Throw in the 1 p.m. start time, and the Vikings have no business being less than three-point favorites here.

The Vikings are 17-5 ATS in their last 22 home games, and their already-stout defense should get a lift from the return of pass rusher Everson Griffen. The Rams built up their league-leading scoring average thanks to an easy schedule of opposing defenses. Lay the points.

It was just last season that Case Keenum and Jared Goff were both on the Rams with Jeff Fisher showing them how not to run an offense. Now the two have found their comfort zone and are excelling leading into this clash of division leaders, just like the 1970's when they always met in the playoffs. As impressive as the Rams' offense has been, their defense doesn't get enough credit, allowing 18 pgg, ranking No. 5 with 28 sacks and No. 3 with a +7 turnover margin. The Rams have covered four straight, which started at Jacksonville against that highly rated defense in 27-17 win. Rams get the win here too.
