    Which channel is Thursday Night Football on tonight? How to watch

    Vaseline Posted on

    Week 8 of the NFL season kicks off with the Minnesota Vikings looking to bounce back from their first loss of the year when they travel to take on the Los Angeles Rams at SoFi Stadium.

    The Vikings had won their first five games before a last-minute loss to Detroit, moving them into a tie for the lead in the best-in-football NFC North. The Rams recorded their second win of the season as they defeated the Las Vegas Raiders to move to 2-4.

    Minnesota is a solid three-point favorite on the road and should have a healthy Aaron Jones, who had a big week in the loss to Detroit.
