Minnesota opened as 2.5-point favorites against the Rams on the road, though the line move to just one point by mid-week, indicating more public faith in Los Angeles. However, the spread bumped back up to 2.5 points as of Sunday afternoon following the NFL's announcement that the game was moving to a neutral site.

Good riddance, Dallas Cowboys. The Detroit Lions are America's Team now. Well, at least for this year's playoffs. While the Lions might not have the history or the fanbase that the Cowboys boast, they certainly have captured the attention of the rooting public heading into the NFL postseason.
