Matthew Stafford More Than 239.5 Passing Yards
Stafford enjoyed another solid season for the Los Angeles Rams. He threw for 3,762 yards with 20 touchdowns and 8 interceptions across 16 games. He posted 240+ passing yards in 8 of those 16 games.
This play is entirely about the matchup, though. Stafford will face off against the Minnesota Vikings, who have struggled against the pass. They’re allowing the fourth-most passing yards (261.5) per game to opposing quarterbacks.
Stafford faced off against Minnesota in Week 8. He posted 279 yards with 4 touchdowns and 1 interception on 34 attempts. It was his third-best game of the season based on yards per pass attempt (8.2).
The Rams are currently 2.5-point underdogs in this game. They’re going to be throwing throughout the entire game, which wasn’t truly the case for Stafford in their first matchup. The Rams won that game by 10 points with Kyren Williams seeing 23 carries.
Stafford still has two dominant receivers in Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp. The Vikings don’t have the secondary to slow this passing attack down, and Stafford boasts the potential to throw for 300+ yards in this game.

Sam Darnold More Than 267.5 Passing Yards
Darnold is in the midst of one of the best “comeback” seasons in recent memory. He’s thrown for 4,319 yards with 35 touchdowns and 12 interceptions across 17 games. He’s also recorded 300+ passing yards in 3 of his last 7 games.
Similar to Stafford, this is an elite matchup for Darnold. He’ll face off against the Los Angeles Rams. They’re allowing the ninth-most passing yards (241.2) per game to opposing quarterbacks. More importantly, the Rams are giving up 11.5 yards per completion this season.
Darnold looked elite in a los to Los Angeles in Week 8. He only needed 25 pass attempts to throw for 240 yards and 2 touchdowns. Oddly enough, the Minnesota Vikings lost that game, so they may be willing to rely more on their passing attack this weekend.
The Rams don’t have the secondary to slow down Justin Jefferson or Jordan Addison. This game is expected to stay close throughout, and both of these teams should be throwing for four quarters.
This isn’t as high as a total as one would expect, and that may be because Darnold fell on his face against the Detroit Lions in a huge game last week. That doesn’t matter for this week, though, and both of these teams should find plenty of success with their passing games.
