Rams vs Giants Prediction
I expect the Rams to play better now that they’re on US soil and they’ll have Aaron Donald for this game. This is also a tough spot for the Giants after a big win over the Cowboys and now having to fly across the country. However, we’re getting a free touchdown with a Giants team that looked fantastic in their season opener. Dart is playing with confidence, the ground game is working, and that Giants defense looks improved.
It’s just one game, but there were a lot of positives to take from it, and I’m intrigued to see if there’s something there. Myles Garrett is out for the Rams, and Nacua is questionable as he’s missing practices. It just feels like everybody continues to buy into this Rams hype, and these lines are inflated. Give me the free touchdown with the Giants.
