Jon Hoefling: Los Angeles Rams (-13.5)

If the Saints are insistent on starting Tyler Shough again, this will be ugly. Very ugly, especially considering the Rams are coming off a bye and Puka Nacua is likely to return.

Jordan Mendoza: Los Angeles Rams (-13.5)

Some may not realize it, but the Rams have one of the better defenses in the league. Getting a really shaky New Orleans team at home will be a great opportunity for a blowout win.

Tyler Dragon: New Orleans Saints (+13.5)

I expect the Rams to win, but 13.5 points seems like a lot. The Saints are starting rookie Tyler Shough, so the team should be energized at least.

Christopher Bumbaca: Los Angeles Rams (-13.5)

Tyler Shough’s first career start coming against the Rams? I’ll be taking LA and not thinking twice about it. The Rams should be undefeated and I’ll keep repeating that until they lose a game in which the deserved to be defeated.

Lorenzo Reyes: Los Angeles Rams (-13.5)

The Rams had their bye (though they were returning from a very long trip to London the week previous), but their offense exploded. I think there’s no way the Saints can keep pace here, so as long as this stays below two touchdowns, I’m good with it.

Blake Schuster: Los Angeles Rams (-13.5)

The Rams just cooked Baltimore and Jacksonville back to back. Clearly the spread is their only tough competition right now.
