2024 NFL wild-card betting: 'Monday Night Football' picks, odds, lines, trends, analysis - ESPN

The No. 5-seeded Minnesota Vikings (14-3, 12-5 ATS) will play the No. 4 Los Angeles Rams (10-7, 9-8 ATS) on Monday night to close out the NFL's wild-card weekend.

The Vikings missed out on the top seed in the NFC and a first-round bye following their loss to the Detroit Lions in Week 18, while the Rams clinched a higher seed by virtue of winning the NFC West.

Monday night's tilt (8 ET on ESPN/ABC/ESPN+) had to be moved as wildfires continue to ravage Southern California. The game was originally scheduled to take place at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, but it will now be played at the Cardinals' State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.

The line had moved to Vikings -1 (after opening at Vikings -2.5) before the game was moved, and it shifted back to Vikings -2.5 after the NFL announced the venue change.

The Vikings (13-1 to win the Super Bowl, 6-1 to win the NFC) were riding a nine-game winning streak heading into their Week 18 matchup with the Lions. The Rams (35-1 to win the Super Bowl, 14-1 to win the NFC) had won five straight before dropping their regular-season finale to the Seattle Seahawks.
