Network executives surely weren’t irritated when the NFL passed on scheduling a mid- to late-season game between the Los Angeles Rams and Minnesota Vikings in a primetime slot.
They might be now. The Vikings and Rams, two teams that have combined for only one playoff appearance in the last three years, find themselves as division leaders and therefore in the thick of the race for home-field advantage in the NFC.
There’s no more significant game on the week 11 schedule than their 10 a.m. kickoff at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, where the Vikings are installed as 2.5-point favorites.
It’s the game of the week in the Sun’s handicapping contest, meaning each of the three competing sports writer must use one of six weekly wagers off of the South Point betting board on the matchup.
