Maybe it’s recency bias. Maybe they lost early in the season.
Either way, NFL Network analysts don’t seem to like the changes for the Minnesota Vikings in Monday night’s wild-card game against the Los Angeles Rams. Rich Eisen, Steve Mariucci, Kurt Warner, Kyle Brandt, Gerald McCoy and Colleen Wolf are among the six analysts who will lead the Vikings to defeat the Rams at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. Wolf was the only one who chose .

This seems a bit surprising considering the Vikings won 14 games this season and were just one game out of the top seed in the NFC. However, that game was a 31-9 loss to the Detroit Lions last week, so recency bias is strong. The Vikings lost 30-20 to the Rams earlier in the season on October 24th.
And Warner is biased because he played for the Rams.
Either way, the Vikings have a chance to prove all five of them wrong and Wolf right when they face the Rams in Monday night’s wild-card game. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m., and barring anything else, it should be a good game.
