New Orleans Saints vs LA Rams Prediction
I’m on the Rams here. I just think that the Rams couldn’t really play worse than they did last time out and while the Saints have been winning games at home, I think it’s only sustainable for so long before they start to regress back to the mean. I mean this is a Saints team that was flat-out abysmal for the last month and a half before these back-to-back wins. The Rams can still make moves in the division about the need to take advantage of winnable spots like these. Give me the Rams.
