NFL Week 5 picks: Experts heavily favoring Packers over Rams

There’s little doubt which team NFL experts like in Sunday’s Rams-Packers matchup at SoFi Stadium

Oddsmakers have not been kind to the Los Angeles Rams this season, listing them as underdogs in each of their first four games. They’ll make it five weeks in a row on Sunday when they face the Packers, who are currently favored by three points on the road against the Rams.

Experts aren’t giving the Rams much of a chance, either. The majority of them are picking the Packers to win outright on Sunday, and they’re also taking Green Bay to cover the spread.

According to Tallysight, 88% of experts are picking the Packers to beat the Rams this weekend and 76% are taking Green Bay to cover the three-point spread. More than half of experts expect a low-scoring game, with 56% picking the under (48.5 points).

It was a similar story in Week 3 when the Rams took on the San Francisco 49ers. That week, 96% of experts picked the 49ers to win outright and 65% took them to cover the spread as road favorites. We all know what happened on that fine Sunday, as the Rams came back to stun the 49ers in a 27-24 win at SoFi Stadium.

Can the Rams pull off the upset again at home? Green Bay won’t be an easy opponent, so Los Angeles will need to play much better than it has in recent weeks.
