Tyler Dragon: Los Angeles Rams (-6)
Cam Ward played well in his NFL debut. Titans pass catchers have to help him out more. Tennessee is going to have a difficult time this week against a good Rams club.
Christopher Bumbaca: Tennessee Titans (+6)
Upset of the week pick, with rookie Cam Ward earning his first NFL win. It’s another tough test for the No. 1 pick — the Broncos’ and Rams’ respective defenses are deserving of their status among the league’s most-feared units — but the home-field advantage helps.
Jon Hoefling: Los Angeles Rams (-6)
If the Rams’ defense could hold C.J. Stroud and the Texans to just nine points, imagine how difficult it will be for a less talented Titans’ offense to score.
Jordan Mendoza: Los Angeles Rams (-6)
The Rams didn’t really have a strong offensive showing in Week 1, yet the defense was promising. That doesn’t bode well for Cam Ward, who will take some time to really find his footing.
Lorenzo Reyes: Los Angeles Rams (-6)
At this point, even with L.A.’s uneven opener, it’s tough to back the Titans. Cam Ward looks like he has plenty of potential, but Tennessee’s offensive operation was far too sloppy.
Blake Schuster: Los Angeles Rams (-6)
What a brutal stretch of games to start Cam Ward’s NFL career. The Texans’ offense has much more talent than the Titans’ and they only put up nine points against the Rams last week. Hopefully the No. 1 pick at least notches a touchdown this Sunday.
