After a lackluster TNF game last week between the Denver Broncos and New Orleans Saints, we look ahead to Vikings-Rams, the return of Cooper Kupp, and a total of 47.5. Let’s get into my Vikings vs Rams touchdown scorer best bets for TNF. You can also find out our NFL picks on the side and total for EVERY game in Week 8 and throughout the entire 2024 season.
Vikings vs Rams anytime touchdown scorer pick: Jordan Addison (+195)
Odds available at DraftKings Sportsbook at time of publishing.
After an injury-plagued start to his 2024 campaign, Jordan Addison season is back on track. Fresh off a Week 6 bye, Jordan Addison played 85% of the snaps in Week 7 and logged a season-high 66 yards. Addison’s team-leading aDOT of 18 yards, up from 12 yards last season, makes him one of the best deep ball threats in the league. With the Rams top 10 blitz rate, quarterback Sam Darnold may take some shots at Addison 1 on 1.

Vikings vs Rams anytime touchdown scorer pick: Tutu Atwell (+500)
Odds available at Caesars Sportsbook at time of publishing.
Full disclosure: Puka Nacua is questionable heading into Thursday Night but was limited at practice on Tuesday and Wednesday. It looks like a real long shot of him suiting up. Insert Tutu Atwell, the right-hand man to Matthew Stafford while Cooper Kupp has been sidelined. Now that Kupp will return against the Vikings, Atwell should be slotted into the #2 role, with Jordan Whittington officially ruled out.
Much like the Rams, the Vikings are blitzing at the top rate in football. Brian Flores has his guys playing some of the best defense in the league. But at +330 and a ton of attention on Kupp playing everywhere on the field and Kyren Williams out of the backfield, this is worth a flyer.
