Jets at Rams: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Rams 30, Jets 10
Money line (?)
This is a battle between the league’s top-ranked defense and the worst offense. The Rams still have some things to work out offensively, but the defense is legit and will shut down the Jets offense for most of the game.
New York will get a score off a Rams turnover, but that’s about it. I like the Rams (-2000) to win this game outright, and by a wide margin, but it’s ill-advised to ever risk 20 times your potential return. PASS and look to the spread for value.
Against the spread (?)
This is the second-biggest spread in any game this season, and rightfully so. The Jets are that bad, and the Rams are one of the best in the league. Los Angeles has a tendency to play down to its opponent, but that won’t be the case here.
The Rams will blow out New York and cover the spread, just as they have in four of their last five games. Take the RAMS -17.5 (-110) to win by at least 18 points this weekend.
Over/Under (?)
The Over/Under is set at 43.5 points, and most of that will have to come from the Rams. The Jets aren’t going to score more than one touchdown against L.A., so the Rams will have to do the heavy lifting if the Over is going to hit.
I like the UNDER 43.5 (-110) based on the Jets’ terrible offense and L.A.’s stout defense.
