Los Angeles Rams - NFL Betting Analysis

In their last game vs the Denver Broncos, the Rams won by a score of 51-14. The 37-point win gave the team a non-conference victory. In addition to winning the game, the Rams picked up an ATS win as they were 3.0-point underdogs. In terms of the over-under, the teams combined for 65 points, which surpassed the betting line of 36. Despite being the 3.0-point underdogs heading into the game, the Rams held a 28-point lead heading into the 4th quarter. Through 15 games, the Rams have an ATS record of 6-8-1. So far, they have an over-under record of 6-9. This week's betting total of 41.0 is right in line with their previous games.

As the Rams prepare to take on the Chargers, they are ranked 26th in points per game at 18.7. This week, look for the Rams to struggle in the passing game, as not only have they struggled to move the ball through the air, but they are also facing a secondary ranked 10th in passer rating allowed. On the ground, the Chargers are averaging 89.9 yards per game which is 29th in the NFL. However, they will be matched up against a rush defense ranked 26th in the league.

 

Los Angeles Chargers - NFL Betting Analysis

Last week, the Chargers knocked off the Colts by a score of 20-3, giving them an important win over an AFC opponent. In addition to winning straight up, the team covered the spread as -3.5 point favorites. The over-under betting total going into the game was 44, which the teams did not surpass. On their way to picking up a 17-point win, Los Angeles held a 10-point lead heading into the 4th quarter at 13-3. Through 15 games, the Chargers have an ATS record of 9-5-1. So far, they have an over-under record of 6-9. This week's betting total of 41.0 is lower than the line in their previous games.

As the Chargers prepare to take on the Rams, they are ranked 13th in points per game at 22.13. Throughout the game, the Chargers should be able to move the ball through the air, as they are the 3rd ranked team in terms of passing yards. In addition, they are facing off against a defense that has been vulnerable in the secondary. On the ground, the Chargers are just the 31st-ranked team in rush yards per game at 84.9.

 

Today's NFL Betting Pick - Rams vs. Chargers
