    Rams at Saints - Pick

    4-8 in the playoffs, I like the Saints at -3.5.

    Brees had not played in 3 weeks and the Saints offense is a timing based offense so they struggled, but the Saints offensive struggles at the end of the year were because of offensive line injuries and being on the road, the offensive line is healthy now. Goff has been great at home when the Rams can run the ball, 22 TD-3 INT, but on the road Goff has been mediocre, 10 TD 9 INT. Goff relies on Mcvay for a lot of communication and on the road Mcvay can't manage the offense as well as at home. Goff had good stats against the Saints the first time these teams played, but only after the Rams were down 20 and Kupp is gone now. The Rams defense has struggled all year. If you double Donald the Rams have no edge rush which is why they traded for Fowler and their linebackers are mediocre. Talib is back but he's older and the not the same player. The Rams have managed Goff during their recent winning streak, and he hasn't thrown as much since they've almost never trailed, they will have to play from behind.

    Rams looked like a new team last week. Sure took care of business a lot easier. Goff does well in non-cold temperatures. I also like their defense better.

    The Rams have looked good all year at home, Goff hasn't been the same quarterback on the road though, and their 2 back running game won't catch anyone by surprise this week.

    I think the line will go off at 4.5, Saints won't likely start slow here like they did last week after 3 weeks without most starters playing.

    You might be right but I think Goff got his win and that helps confidence. I'm a true believer that saints peaked weeks ago but good luck.

    The Rams and Saints both peaked weeks ago, but if you look at the Rams recent wins, Goff has been managing the game, its been all about the running game. Most of the Saints recent struggles came on the road with an injured offensive line too.

    but CJ Anderson is the X factor in this game...a valuable pickup for the Rams...he's been playing lights out and keeping Todd Gurley fresh by splitting reps...Dallas Cowboys defense is every bit as good if not better than the Saints and the Rams O-line manhandle them and they were able to run the ball all game long...If Anderson can come close to replicating that performance he had against Dallas (23 carries for 123 yds and 1 TD) the Rams will not only cover but win outright...I felt like the Eagles handed the Saints that win on a silver platter...they abandoned the run game far too early and didn't stick with it...I don't expect the Rams to make that mistake...and Goff will find his open WR's and hit them in stride unlike the lame ducks that Foles throws.

    Not that I care there's no question the Eagles had chances won. If Graham recovers the fumble, if Foles doesn't throw the first half interception, Eagles had many chances to win the games. But that's the value here in my opinion, the Saints were inconsistent because most of the starters hadn't played in 3 weeks. The Eagles pass rush is also much more impressive than the Rams because the Eagles have a great edge rush with Graham and Long, Bennett was very also. The Rams don't have anyone outside of Donald other than an older Suh.

    I think the point you're missing is at home the offensive line can hear the snap count and they get their first step, on the road the offense will hear nothing and controlling the line of scrimmage on the road in much harder than at home. Saints run defense has been very good all year.

    Hard to beat the same team twice in one season. Rams and Saints both looked good in last games.. Saints started slow but picked it up. Rams were firing on all cylinders against the Cowboys also.

    Flip that coin gents!!! GL.. Could go either way.. Line should be pick em IMO..

    Rams have much better talent and I hope they do win because KC or NE would beat the Saints by 10+.

    The Saints offensive line is nowhere near as healthy as they were when these teams played before, but the Rams pass Rush outside of Donald isn't impressive, their is no edge rush, Rams linebackers are horrible in coverage, kamara should have a big day.

    Its only an advantage if they playing at home which they will not NE would score 40 on the Saints in their sleep and Tyreek Hill would be even more dangerous in a dome.

    Saints will stomp the Pats if those 2 are in the big game. Pats run ends soon.

    Like the confidence. So if that is the case Saints ML should be a good bet this weekend right?

    i’m too scared to lay the points, I feel like the Saints kicker missed that last kick on purpose to avoid the cover on sunday. Point shaving happens all the time.
