Betting lines have bounced around constantly the last two weeks due to a spike in COVID-19 cases around the league, notably within the Rams’ building. Heading into Week 16, the Rams are at near-full strength, but the Vikings can’t say the same.

Minnesota will be without Dalvin Cook in Sunday’s game after he tested positive for COVID-19 – and because he’s unvaccinated, he must remain out for 10 days.

The Rams opened the week as 3.5-point favorites over Minnesota, and despite Cook being ruled out, the line hasn’t moved. They’re still 3.5-point favorites, according to Tipico Sportsbook. The Over/Under dropped one point from 49.5 to 48.5, but that’s not necessarily correlated to Cook’s absence.

The Rams are 7-7 against the spread this season, one game worse than the Vikings, who are 8-6 ATS. In order for them to cover on Sunday, they’ll need to beat the Vikings by at least four points on the road.
