NFL Playoff Ponderings and Wagers

3* Rams +2' over Vikings - I liked this game better before they moved it to Glendale, but I still think the Rams are the play here. I think they'll play inspired ball, given what's happening in L.A. with the devastating fires. But aside from that, they have a huge advantage in playoff experience and success, as Sean McVay has coached in two Super Bowls, winning the last one three years ago with Matthew Stafford at QB. He's also 4-1 ATS as a playoff dog, including a cover last year at Detroit. Finally, they had a ton of injuries early in the season, leading to a 1-4 start, but since their bye they went on a 9-2 run before sitting all their starters in the season finale loss to Seattle. So they've essentially had a bye, while Minny is off a demoralizing blowout loss at Detroit last week, which cost them a division title and the number one seed in the NFC. Kevin O'Connell lost his only playoff game two years ago, and this will be Sam Darnold's first postseason appearance. The Vikes lost an earlier matchup in L.A. 30-20, following a tough home loss to Detroit. Now, after losing to the to the Lions again, in blowout fashion, I think history repeats itself. 27-22, RAMS!
