Prediction

Rams 34, Falcons 27

Moneyline ( ?)

As disappointing as the Rams have been this season, they're still better than the Falcons and should come away with a win on Sunday. Atlanta's secondary is one of the worst in the NFL with the pass defense ranking near the bottom in every relevant statistic. Take the RAMS(-162).

Against the Spread ( ?)

The Rams come into this one as 2.5-point favorites. Los Angeles has lost three in a row, but the arrival of CB Jalen Ramsey should help the secondary, specifically with covering Jones. Take the Rams (-129), even with them being on the road.

Over/Under ( ?)

These are two of the best offenses in the league and both teams love to throw the ball. Take the OVER 54.5 (-115) and hope it turns into a shootout - which seems likely with Gurley and Brown banged up.
