3 reasons the Vikings will beat the Rams in Week 16
By Adam Carlson
The crowd will be the difference-maker
U.S. Bank Stadium will need to be exceptionally loud and rowdy on Sunday if they want the Minnesota Vikings to have a chance at beating the Rams. The purple and gold are 4-2 at home this season and 30-16 over the course of the stadium’s history.
The impact that fans can have on a Vikings game has been seen numerous times. Their noise has forced teams to call time-outs, make mistakes, get penalties, and get extremely frustrated. That power in the hands of fans is powerful.
If the Minnesota Vikings can chip away at the Rams defense while keeping their passing attack in check, Los Angeles will be at the mercy of Minnesota and this game will go the way the purple and gold dictate it to go.
Minnesota leads the all-time series 27-17-2 and the Vikings have won six of their last seven games against the Rams in Minneapolis. History leans the way of Minnesota in this game, but the Vikings will need the help of loud fans to put this game away.
