Ilona Maher has gotten into fan mode! Ahead of the Minnesota Vikings’ play against the Los Angeles Rams at the SoFi stadium, the Olympian has put on a jersey to support her favorite side. However, her pick for the Thursday Night Football winner is poles apart from her ‘Dancing With The Stars’ partner, Alan Bersten. Here’s how they have gone opposite ways for the evening.
Per the latest X post added by the LA Rams, Ilona Maher and Bersten were seen at the stadium in Inglewood, California for the TNF match. While the rugby player donned a blue and yellow jersey, choosing the Rams as her pick for the night, Bersten decided to go the Vikings way.
But, unfortunately, Ilona Maher’s pick for the evening is hardly the fan favorite. Although the Rams beat the Raiders 20-15 previously, ending their 2-game losing streak, they are currently 4th on the NFC West list. Also, the Vikings are expected to bounce back strongly after their first loss of the season last week. But the historical figures say the match can go either way.
There have been 47 games between the two teams in history. And while the Vikings may have a bit of an upper hand with a 27-18-2 all-time-series advantage, they have been on the winning side just once in 3 meetings since 201. However, regardless of the win or loss, it’s sure that the game would be a definite stressbuster for Ilona Maher and Alan Bersten after rigorous preparations for the recent DWTS Disney Night.

In fact, the two were spotted letting loose on the NFL field. Whilst at the sidelines, Ilona Maher thrashed Alan on the floor in a mock rugby tackle. ‘Been wanting to do this all season,’ she was seen giggling as the two stood back up after the fall. While the Rams called that a ‘textbook technique,’ Maher’s caption hinted that she might train Bersten to make a comeback: “Now I got to teach Alan something.”
