PASS.
The Rams (-1100) will have no problem covering here, but they are not worth the risk of betting on as such a heavy favorite. Pass here and bet on the spread and/or total instead.
BET RAMS -14 (-110).
LA is the much better team offensively, averaging 360.1 yards per game which is sixth in the NFL, while New Orleans sits in the bottom 6 with 295 YPG. On the other side, both teams are solid defensively, but the Saints’ are bad at stopping the run as they allow 124.3 rushing yards per game, good for bottom half of the NFL. For LA, WR Puka Nacua is back and fully healthy, so look for his impact to also be instrumental in LA covering here.
LEAN UNDER 44 (-110).
The Under has hit in back-to-back games for LA and is 3-1 in its last 4 games while the Under is 4-0 in New Orleans’ last 4 games. The Under is also 3-2 in the last 5 matchups between these squads. Finally, LA is top 3 in the NFL in points allowed per game at 16.7, making the Under an even safer bet here
But keep in mind LA’s offense is high-powered enough, especially with Nacua back, to blow the Over number out of the water here.
