Titans vs Rams Prediction
I’m on the Rams here. It’s never easy to lay points on the road, and this early in the year, we’re still trying to figure out who some of these teams really are. However, the Rams looked solid defensively in week one, and Cam Ward still looks like he’s going to take time to adjust to things being played and the speed at which they’re played at the next level. The Rams are well-coached and this is still a solid spot for the Rams to start the year 2-0 in my eyes. Give me the Rams by a TD.
