ATS PICK: LA Rams
– Bet on this, BetMGM latest line
Joe Burrow had a decent first game as the Cincinnati starter, and his team lost to the Chargers by three.
Justin Herbert was terrific in his first start as the Los Angeles Charger starter, and his team lost to Kansas City by three.
This is Tua Tagovailoa’s first start for a red-hot Miami team that was humming right along before getting a week off. Now it’s changing things up, which means either 1) Tagovailoa really is the better option than Ryan Fitzpatrick, who was playing as well as any NFL starter outside of the elite, or 2) this is the get-the-franchise-guy-going already game.
Miami is rested, it really is playing well, and Tua is going to be special. But in his opener, take the chance that Jalen Ramsey, Aaron Donald, and a strong Ram team will make the new guy screw up just enough to win by more than three.
