Leg #1: Vikings -1.5
The first leg of our Vikings vs Rams Same Game Parlay is for the Minnesota Vikings to cover the spread as a slight favorite. Minnesota struggled in the red zone against the Detroit Lions in their final regular season game, which dropped the Vikings from the top seed in the NFC down to the fifth seed. But we expect Minnesota to be better in scoring territory in this game now that they are not facing the favorites to win this year’s Super Bowl.
Also important going into this game is the fact that there is some upside in this line knowing that this game could get moved away from California. With the wildfires impacting Southern California, there is the potential that this game could get moved to Arizona, as the NFL has set State Farm Stadium as a backup location in case the game does need to be moved. If the game is moved away from SoFi Stadium, that would give the Rams even less of a home-field advantage than they usually have, which would not be a positive thing for them.
Leg #2: Jordan Addison Anytime TD Scorer
The next leg of this Same Game Parlay is for Jordan Addison of the Vikings to score a touchdown in this game. Addison has emerged as a high-level option for Sam Darnold to rely on during the second half of this season. He scored five touchdowns in the final five games of the year for Minnesota, including three touchdowns in a win over the Atlanta Falcons, and we expect him to make a big play in this game to find the end zone.
It is also worth pointing out that Addison comes at a better price to score a touchdown than Justin Jefferson. Jefferson is at around -115 to score a touchdown in this game. And while Jefferson is the top star on this Vikings team, Addison is a better value to score in this game against a Rams secondary that has been inconsistent this year.
Leg #3: Aaron Jones 60+ Rushing Yards
Our final pick for this Vikings vs Rams SGP is for running back Aaron Jones to rush for at least 60 yards for the Vikings. This is a favorable matchup for Jones, who is taking on a Rams defense that has allowed 130 rushing yards per game during the regular season. While we don’t expect Jones to put up numbers like that in this game, we do expect him to hit 60 yards in a game we expect the Vikings to win on Monday.
