Why are the rams underdogs?

PeePee · 10-10-10, 10:19 AM

Det lost some close games against better opponents and now at home desperate for a win.
SL with a rookie QB on the road off 2 SU wins. These teams are not that far apart talent wise.

Sometimes, record does not tell the whole story when it comes to betting ATS.

I'll take a shot with the Rams at +3... 1100 to win 1000.

Italia_NYC · 10-10-10, 10:20 AM

This just in... the Rams are not a very good football team.

broadway6 · 10-10-10, 10:21 AM

i'm a rams fan and they are a dog because they have won there 2 games at home...now they go on the road. Stafford has looked great, but home cooking is much tastier for a rookie than away turf. (even though it's Detroit's turf)

Cappinpicks · 10-10-10, 10:22 AM

Is stafford playing for detroit? I don't see how you can give points with this winless team.

tylerguy02 · 10-10-10, 10:24 AM

The last time I checked the Rams had the third highest PF/PA in the NFL. Bradford is a beast with some great receivers and Jackson should be healthier.

Cappinpicks · 10-10-10, 10:25 AM

Jackson by himself should have a field day... lions are born losers and can't give 3 pts.

tylerguy02 · 10-10-10, 10:25 AM

And Stafford is out....Shaun Hill is the man behind center. He did well last week, but Rams D is one of the better ones in the league. I'm taking Rams ML here.

ebbearsfb1 · 10-10-10, 10:26 AM

shaun hills the qb for the lions

Cappinpicks · 10-10-10, 10:27 AM

wow so rams have the better QB and a pro bowl RB yet are getting pts against a hopeless team

gshock1 · 10-10-10, 10:27 AM

Shaun Hill is 3-0 vs, the Rams including a win against Spagnolo and that D: 35-0

falconticket · 10-10-10, 10:28 AM

St. Louis made me money 3 weeks in a row, I'm not jumping ship. I would give 3 points and still play rams again.

Cappinpicks · 10-10-10, 10:28 AM

I might just make the Rams my Game of the Century.

broadway6 · 10-10-10, 10:29 AM

Lions have played the Bears, Eagles, Vikings, and Packers. lost by an average of 6 points to 4 teams that could be playoff bound.

Rams have played the Cardinals, Raiders, Redskins, and Seattle. No play off teams on this list.

tylerguy02 · 10-10-10, 10:29 AM

Everyone is on the lions because they're 3-1 ATS, but thats because they've faced four overrated teams so far this season. St. Louis is very underrated and will take this one.

Cappinpicks · 10-10-10, 10:31 AM

Lions might just be getting desperate and could choke at home, rams won last year and do IT AGAIN this year.

i hope so

Strength of schedule: Detroit is ranked 5th and St. Louis is ranked last. The Lions have kept it close against three good teams whereas the Rams haven't played anybody yet.

Edit: Beaten

smarmy · 10-10-10, 10:35 AM

Gotta agree with the Rams backers here. Detroit can't win a game. they had a couple within their grasp but can't hold on. Rams have a much improved offense and their D is should be good enough to stop the Lions.

Cappinpicks · 10-10-10, 10:35 AM

Based on that info there's a high chance they come out flat, they do SUCK after all being the lions.

Stay hot, CP.

broadway6 · 10-10-10, 02:31 PM

being a rams fan.....i know the rams aren't good enough to win on the road...i lost my bets too...

gshock1 · 10-10-10, 02:37 PM

Rams are very overvalued. Vegas set the trap by making the "winless" Lions the favorites by a field goal. The Rams were one of the squarest plays on the board today.
