This line has gotten out of hand. The Rams are playing their third game in 12 days, and their vaunted running game could struggle against the league's top rushing defense. Baltimore QB Tyler Huntley can get us through the back door if needed. Back the desperate hosts.
I realize the Ravens are struggling, having lost four straight. But I don't trust the Rams to travel across the country, play in a 1 p.m. ET game and win by a touchdown or more over a Baltimore team that is desperate for a win to keep its playoff hopes alive. Give me Baltimore.
This will be the Rams' third game in 12 days as well as their first back-to-back road trip without extra rest this season. This game is now early for the Rams, who had to fly back to the West Coast after playing at Minnesota. No Lamar Jackson is fine by me as Tyler Huntley has a QBR of 58.9, while Lamar's QBR is 50.1 (Patrick Mahomes’ QBR is 59.0). The Ravens are ranked No. 3 in third-down defense, while the Rams are ranked No. 20. The Rams are 2-2 SU and 1-3 ATS when playing on grass and 1-3 ATS vs. winning teams. The Ravens are 9-3 ATS as underdogs over the past three seasons (4-1 this year). Take the Ravens in their Super Bowl!
The Ravens do not dare -- do they? -- deploy limping QB Lamar Jackson, who has barely practiced of late, against Aaron Donald and the daunting L.A. defense. Even if they do, the Rams can stomp all over the tattered Ravens D for plenty of points. QB Matthew Stafford excels against man-to-man coverage, a Baltimore staple. Ailing Anthony Averett, the third-best CB, could join the top two cover guys on the sideline. L.A. is riding a 4-0 streak, both SU and ATS, and Sean McVay always prepares them well for early kickoffs in the Eastern time zone.
