Minnesota Vikings @ Philadelphia Eagles (-3)
Going from the Rams to the Eagles back to back is a heck of a schedule for the Vikings. That makes their loss to Buffalo even worse. Minnesota really needs this win to have a shot to get a first-round bye in the playoffs.
The Vikings are in third place in their division. They came into the season as one of the favorites in the conference. If they end up going 1-3-1, then they will need to go at least 10-1 for the rest of the year.
Meanwhile, the Eagles are in a similar position after losing their game in overtime last week. They are at 2-2, and with the Rams running away with the conference, teams are playing for second place. Neither one of these teams can really afford to lose, but one of them has to. Unless they tie, and we really hope that doesn’t happen. Take the points in a matchup that’s extremely close.
Philadelphia 28, Minnesota 27
Los Angeles Rams (-7) @ Seattle Seahawks
This is where things get interesting. Is there any semblance of the 12th Man left? The Seattle Seahawks are barely hanging on to what’s left to their dynasty by Russell Wilson’s constantly tackled talent.
Actually, if the Rams have their way, it won’t be interesting at all. Take the Seahawks terrible offensive line, add in a high-powered Rams offense and a front seven that’s probably the best in the league, and you get a massive win for the Rams.
Los Angeles (R) 42, Seattle 10
