The Los Angeles Rams are red hot in their last six games, going 5-1 in that span with at least 28 points scored in each of their last five. They now get a banged-up Giants team that’s 5-10 and eliminated from playoff contention.
It’s hard not to like the Rams in this spot, even being on the road in the early 1 p.m. ET kickoff window. They have the benefit of extra rest and a roster that’s nearly 100% healthy, while the Giants just played on Monday night and could be missing starters on each side of the ball.
NFL experts love Los Angeles in this matchup. According to TallySight, 97% are picking the Rams to win outright, with 84% taking them to cover the spread as 5.5-point favorites. The over/under is nearly an even split, with 51% picking the under at 44.5 points.
The Rams have covered the spread in five straight games, though the Giants are an impressive 4-1 ATS in that same timeframe. There’s no question the Rams are the better team, but anything can happen in the NFL and there have been much larger upsets already this season.
