In the eyes of the oddsmakers, the Los Angeles Rams are slight underdogs against the Indianapolis Colts this weekend. But if you look at who the experts are picking, they’re leaning more toward the Rams over the Colts.
According to Tallysight, 63% of the 212 experts who picked the game are taking the Rams to beat the Colts. Unsurprisingly, 62% are also taking the Rams to cover the spread, with most books having Los Angeles as a 1-point underdog to Indianapolis.
In terms of the over/under, 64% believe the total will go under 46 points.
The Colts were without Anthony Richardson last week after he suffered a concussion in Week 2, but he seems on track to return this weekend against the Rams. Gardner Minshew played well in his place and even led the Colts to a win over the Ravens, but Richardson brings an added element of rushing ability to the quarterback position.
The biggest question for Los Angeles isn’t whether it’s Richardson or Minshew, but whether the offensive line can hold up against the Colts’ pass rush. If not, we could see a repeat of Monday’s game against the Bengals.
