NFL Week 7: Cardinals’ mixed fortunes and Vikings offence impressing

Last year’s 11-5 regular season record suggested LA Rams would be dark horses in this season’s Super Bowl.

But few expected them to chalk up six wins from six in NFL 2018. That stellar run has included a 38-10 win over Minnesota Vikings – the joint-highest points total the Vikings have conceded in any game since 2014.

However, recent outings have been more nervy affairs. The Rams needed a fourth-quarter comeback to win 33-31 in Seattle on Week Six, before clinging onto a 23-20 win in Denver last time out.

They can’t afford to get complacent away at the 49ers on Sunday. Kyle Shanahan’s side have lost four on the spin, but several of those games have been very close. This could be a good test of the Rams’ composure.

Cousins and Thielen beginning to motor for Vikings

This season did not begin in ideal fashion for the Vikings. As mentioned, there was that defeat in Los Angeles, as well as a shock 27-6 home defeat to Buffalo Bills. But after back-to-back wins, Mike Zimmer’s men finally seem to be clicking as expected.

That’s thanks largely to the performances – and link-up between – Quarterback Kirk Cousins and Wide Receiver Adam Thielen.

Cousins has thrown for a massive 1,921 yards across the first six games, producing at least one Touchdown in each of those games – including four against Green Bay Packers.

As for Thielen, he leads the entire NFL for receiving yards right now – turning his 712 yards into four TDs. With that in mind, the Vikings should prove too strong for New York Jets this weekend.

In the Money Line, the Vikings are 4/7 to triumph. Meanwhile, Coral’s odds make it 9/5 for the Vikings -7.0 handicap.
