Falcons vs. Rams picks against the spreadJordan Mendoza: Atlanta Falcons (+8.5)
Can the Rams get back together after the collapse in Seattle, or will Atlanta take advantage of it? Sean McVay is hungry to take the frustrations out, and while Los Angeles gets the victory, Atlanta makes the Rams work every play for it.
Tyler Dragon: Los Angeles Rams (-8.5)
The Rams can still get the No. 1 seed in the NFC. The Falcons are just playing for pride. Advantage Rams.
Blake Schuster: Los Angeles Rams (-8.5)
Oh goodness, this is going to be a bad evening for Atlanta against a Super Bowl contender.
Jon Hoefling: Los Angeles Rams (-8.5)
May the Lord have mercy on the team that faces Los Angeles with extra rest after losing on a questionable two-point conversion call.
Lorenzo Reyes: Los Angeles Rams (-8.5)
The Rams might be the best team in football, and last week’s close loss against the Seahawks means they cannot afford any other slip ups. They should roll here.
Christopher Bumbaca: Los Angeles Rams (-8.5)
The Rams want that Falcons’ pick that belongs to them in the 2026 first round to be as low as possible. What better incentive than a bounceback victory.
