Rams -10 (Caesars)

It’s Week 2 and already the Tremendous Bowl champs are feeling the necessity to show themselves. Rams coach Sean McVay took the blame for the group’s dreadful efficiency in Week 1 so it’s a secure assumption the Rams received’t overlook a double-digit underdog.

If there was one thing the McVay-Matthew Stafford combo did nicely final season, it was making the most of weaker opponents. All 5 Rams defeats in 2021 got here in opposition to playoff groups. Of their 12 victories, six have been by double digits, together with 4 within the first eight weeks.

The Rams’ offensive line gave up seven sacks final week and can be lacking middle Brian Allen (knee). Coleman Shelton will transfer to middle and Tremayne Anchrum takes over at proper guard. The road uncertainty might result in an environment friendly quick-strike passing assault.

‘Over’ 46.5 whole factors (Caesars)

The Rams scored a lone landing of their season opener, which little question means a way of urgency on offense is forward. The Rams appeared to drive a sub-par speeding assault final week, presumably to maintain the Payments’ offense off the sphere so long as potential.

There must be extra operating lanes this week, particularly after the Falcons allowed 151 yards on the bottom vs. the Saints. L.A. wideout Cooper Kupp seems as decided as ever with 13 catches for 128 yards within the opener.

Participant prop decide: Allen Robinson II ‘Over’ 4.5 receptions

Stafford threw 41 passes within the Week 1 defeat and focused Kupp or tight finish Tyler Higbee with 26 of them. When Stafford is underneath stress, Kupp and his tight ends, particularly Higbee, are his hurry-up choices. Extra pocket time Sunday means a greater number of targets.

The Rams have excessive hopes for wideout Allen Robinson II, but the newcomer was focused solely twice in Week 1 and had one catch. With Van Jefferson injured and Odell Beckham Jr. gone, Robinson is predicted to have a significant position within the offense.

After Beckham’s Rams tenure bought off to a gradual begin final season, Stafford discovered easy methods to get the veteran extra concerned within the offense. Anticipate the identical to carry true with Robinson, as McVay and Stafford look to share the wealth in opposition to the Falcons.

Our Decide: Allen Robinson II over 4.5 receptions
