New Orleans needs to win this game, but it's a road game against a team that can run the ball. New Orleans is not a great run stopping team and is something like 1 out of 5 against the spread at St Louis.

Too many 'what ifs' in this game for me. If the Rams D line can consistently pressure Brees and keep him scrambling, they may have a shot. Getting off the field on 3rd down will make or break this game for St Louis. The Saints have been real solid on 3rd down efficiency this year. Even tho it's an away game, it's in a dome, and Brees will throw for 300 and 3 TDs if he can stand in the pocket unpressured. The Rams secondary is still a bit beat up also. Jenkins is still listed as questionable. I see Graham tearing them up up the middle if their LBs can't cover him. I'm sure they watched a ton of tape from the Seahawks. KJ Wright kept him in check. If the Rams can establish the run, win the time of possession battle, and keep NO offense on the sideline, they very well could cover, possibly win. But if the Saints pull away early and the Rams have to air it out, I can't see the Rams coming close to covering this. Especially since Tavon Austin is also questionable. I just can't see betting St Louis here unless you get at least 7, which I think it is in some places now.Comment -
No way would I lay the points. The Rams should score some points and probably have a better defense.Comment
