Saints +3 -125 (half point bought)
The Rams game against the Packers should give the Saints a lot of confidence to face the best team in the league at home – the Packers defense held the Rams scoreless until 3 minutes left in the 2nd quarter and Goff was sacked 5 times and knocked down 10 times. The Rams’ only weakness all season has been their run defense (giving up 4.8 ypc) and it’s never a problem because their offense can just outscore the opposing offense. Drew Brees and the Saints offense can’t easily be outscored and Kamara and Ingram will be featured heavily. Marcus Peters was beat a few times down the field by Davante Adams and I see Michael Thomas winning that matchup all game. Without Aqib Talib the other side of the field isn’t as strong for the Rams and I’ll trust Drew Brees to find the right matchups. The Saints are 5-0 ATS their last 5 games while the Rams are 1-4 ATS. If there’s any team who can give the Rams their first loss, it’s the Saints. All over the home dog today.
