Los Angeles is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games as a favorite and 9-2 ATS in their last 12 September games while the under is 7-2 in their last 9 games as a road favorite. Indianapolis is 0-4 ATS in their last 4 home games and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games overall while the over is 6-0 in their last 6 games against at eam with a winning record.
This should be a highly-entertaining affair, but I’m going to side with the over here. I think that both teams are solid defensively, but these are also two teams that are more than capable of putting points up in bunches, especially the Rams like we saw on Sunday night. Give me the over in this spot.
