NFL Week 9 Preview: Falcons’ playoff chase and Rams’ huge trip

Not only do the pair boast the NFC’s strongest records right now, with the Rams the only 8-0 team – but they’re also both offensive juggernauts.

These are two of only four sides in the country to have scored over 230 points so far, with the Rams posting over 30 points in six of their eight games.

The signs point to a close, and thrilling affair. But the Rams could have the edge. While they’ve been defensively sound, the Saints have been giving up an average of over 26 points per game.

In the betting, it’s 27/20 for Over 64.5 Total Points in this game. As for the Rams, they’re 7/5 to rack up Over 32 against their hosts.

Do Vikings have the edge ahead of NFC North crunch match?

There’s almost nothing to separate the NFC North sides so far, with Chicago Bears and Minnesota Vikings just a single win ahead of the chasing pair.

That means Detroit Lions’ trip to Minneapolis this weekend could be a season-defining game for both sides, and even the division as a whole.

But while the pair’s results have been similar, there are signs that Mike Zimmer’s men should edge this. Quarterback Kirk Cousins is in truly inspired form, and threw for over 350 yards against New Orleans Saints – a better side than the Lions.

Minnesota also have home advantage, and the Lions just aren’t good travellers. They’ve lost four of the last six on their travels, including giving San Francisco 49ers their only win in eight games this season.

The Vikings are 4/9 in the Money Line, while it’s 6/4 they land the more ambitious -7.0 handicap.
