The Vikings are going to be juiced up on a different level at home for this big time clash of first place 7-2 NFC teams. The Vikings will have their crowd screaming at the top of their lungs as they watch their well oiled defensive machine stop Gurley for short and negative gains. Mike Zimmer will utilize exotic blitz packages designed to crush Goff early and often.
They will attack Havenstein and send occasional LB's like heat seeking missiles up the middle between Sullivan and the guards. The defense will not lose site of Gurley sneaking out of the backfield. Their tackling will be fierce with Vikings players energized and piling on with gang tackles.
After gaining valuable knowledge by playing the Redskins last week, the Vikings secondary will be prepared for McVay's similar scheme and hybrid west coast system. The Rams wide receivers and tight ends will have trouble getting separation as they get pushed around by the more physical and dominating home team.
Mike Zimmer will have several clever disguised defensive packages dialed up with his safeties and LB's. The Zimmer defense will come out playing with their hair on fire. The Rams will look weary and stunned and be fortunate to score more than one field goal in the first fifteen minutes of this contest. Then the offensive magician will regroup his squad and they will show their poise and resilience and start punching back. With a flurry of combinations and explosive knockout power, the team wearing the curled horns on their helmet, will rise to the challenge end this contest forty seven to seventeen.
