Taking place in Arizona.
Monday Night Football features the final playoff game of Wildcard Weekend, as the Minnesota Vikings take on the Los Angeles Rams in Arizona.
The Vikings had a tremendous season and were so close to getting the first seed, but instead lost to the Lions and have to be a road wildcard team. In my opinion, they were the surprise of the league this year with how consistently good they were.
The Rams, meanwhile, got red hot once their top two receivers came back. Some may feel they won in a weak division, but they are a serious contender still with a lot of experience. It’s hard to gauge how Sam Darnold will do in a playoff moment, but I’ll take the Vikings to edge out the Rams.
The game starts at 8:00 pm ET and will be televised on ABC. Vikings 24, Rams 21
