The October 24, 2024, Thursday Night Football matchup features the Minnesota Vikings against the Los Angeles Rams at SoFi Stadium. The Rams have struggled with injuries this season, particularly affecting quarterback Matthew Stafford, but he’s expected to get some help with the return of key players like wide receiver Cooper Kupp and offensive lineman Joe Noteboom. Despite being underdogs at home, the Rams could see a boost from these reinforcements.
Minnesota, on the other hand, comes in as a slight favorite (-3) due to a strong defensive front that excels at pressuring quarterbacks. The Vikings have been effective against the run and will likely challenge the Rams’ offensive line. However, their pass defense has shown some weaknesses recently, allowing significant yardage in their last few games.
Key to watch will be Stafford’s ability to handle Minnesota’s aggressive blitzing, something he has traditionally excelled at, despite this season’s struggles. Projections see him surpassing 235 passing yards, with the Vikings’ defense potentially cracking under pressure in the secondary.
Expect a competitive game, with the Rams looking to turn their season around and the Vikings trying to maintain their solid form.
