Jeremy Cluff writes: “How will the Vikings respond to their first loss of the season? We think Sam Darnold and company will bounce back, led by a strong defensive effort.”

Bill Speros writes: “The Vikings saw their perfect season hit its first roadblock in a hard-fought 31-29 loss to the Lions. The Rams are slogging their way through injuries and barely beat the bereft Raiders. Expect SoFi to be clad in Purple and Gold as the masses from Minnesota relocate to Inglewood for the weekend. The Rams were worst in the NFL against the pass heading into Week 7. Sam Darnold and company could put up some impressive numbers on this inside track. Especially after their near miss against Detroit.”
