With starting quarterback Sam Bradford already out for the season the St. Louis Rams could be hard-pressed to turn around a 2-11-1 ATS run in their last 14 season-Sportsbook games as they play host to the Minnesota Vikings in Week 1 odds action on Sunday.
Bradford is already on injured reserve with a knee injury, leaving Shaun Hill as the team's starting quarterback and in charge of continuing their four-game SU winning streak in games in which they're favored at home. For totals bettors, the OVER has paid off in nine of the last 10 meetings between the two teams.
The Rams have won four straight games when favored at home, while the Vikes are 0-7-1 SU as road dogs past eight games overall.
