The Green Bay Packers are the better team here, given they have health on their side and have had an extra week to prepare. The Los Angeles Rams are still leveled with injuries and weren’t a good team even when healthy. With that said, the Packers being favored by more than a touchdown against anybody is strange. The Packers’ offense struggles to finish drives at times, and the defense can’t stop the run. There are reasons the Packers are where they are in the standings. The Packers may win, but I’m grabbing the points with the Rams.
