Braden Fiske to Record a Sack +162
Minnesota has been one of the worst at protecting its quarterback this season. Combined with the Rams' imposing defensive front, which has had some success penetrating offensive lines, we like Braden Fiske's chances of recording a sack on Monday night.

Fiske hasn't replaced Aaron Donald's lost production, but he's doing a damn fine job of causing a ruckus in his rookie season. The Florida State product has totaled 8.5 sacks this season, with 5.5 of those coming over the final eight weeks of the regular season.

Fiske should have no problem breaking through the Vikings' o-line. Further, he's only gotten better as the season progresses. At +162, Fiske is worth the investment to get to Sam Darnold.

Kyren Williams Over 81.5 Rushing Yards
Undoubtedly, defense is one of the Minnesota Vikings' most significant attributes. Nevertheless, they'll have their hands full trying to contain Kyren Williams on Monday night.

The Los Angeles Rams running back has been a one-man wrecking crew lately. Williams put the Rams on his back to end the season, driving their offense en route to the NFC West crown. Excluding Week 18, when Williams sat out with the rest of the starters, he averaged 95.4 rushing yards per game on 21.9 carries. However, his accomplishments look even better when isolated on a game-by-game basis. The third-year pro topped 100 rushing yards and 23 carries in three of those five contests, adding five touchdowns.

While he's running into the strength of the Vikings' defense, we still like Williams's ceiling in the playoffs. We're taking a stance on him eclipsing 81.5 rushing yards on Monday night.

Matthew Stafford Under 242.5 Passing Yards
With Kyren Williams serving as an every-down back and shouldering the offensive burden, a lot has been taken off Matthew Stafford's plate. His eroding metrics carry him into what could be his last start of the season.

Stafford hasn't lived up to his usual standard with his recent performances. The former Super Bowl winner has fallen below 189 passing yards in four of his last five starts. Worse, his passing yards per game have plummeted to 192.4 over that stretch, with a 320-yard average propping up an otherwise underwhelming sample.

As expected, Stafford's workload has decreased in conjunction with Williams's surge. LA's primary goal will be keeping Minnesota's offense off the field. That means less Stafford and more Williams in the Wild Card round. Under 242.5 passing yards seems like a formality.

Cooper Kupp Over 48.5 Receiving Yards
While Stafford's outlook is clouded, Cooper Kupp is expected to remain a focal point of the Rams' passing attack. Puka Nacua's presence limits Kupp's ceiling. Still, his receiving yards total has been set too low for the Wild Card matchup.

Kupp's prop has been set at a meager 48.5 receiving yards. Granted, his production has taken a hit in the latter stages of the campaign; however, the former Offensive Player of the Year typically reserves his best performances for the postseason. Kupp has seen no fewer than seven targets in any of his seven career playoff games. Moreover, he's averaging 93.1 receiving yards and 7.1 receptions throughout.

Some may be apprehensive about Kupp's outlook, but with Nacua drawing the extra coverage, the elder Rams' wideout should roam free.

Cooper Kupp Anytime Touchdown Scorer +170
We're tempted by the +1000 price tag as the first touchdown scorer but are deferring our selection to the anytime market. Kupp remains a reliable presence in the red zone and is a value candidate to score in the Wild Card Round finale.

Kupp is one of three Rams' pass-catchers that can do damage inside the 20. However, his playoff acumen and appealing betting price give him the edge. So far this season, he's hauled in six of ten passes inside the red zone for four touchdowns. That aligns with his postseason pedigree, in which Kupp has found the endzone in five of his seven games, totaling seven touchdowns.

Scoring will be at a premium, but the Stafford to Kupp connection should remain strong. You can count on the Rams' receiver finding paydirt.
