According to NFL Pick Watch, 87% of experts are taking the Rams to win outright. Six teams are more heavily favored by experts this weekend. With the spread factored in, 68% of experts are taking the Rams to cover the 3.5-point margin. That’s a sign of confidence from pundits that the Rams could win by more than a field goal on Sunday.
