Rams vs Saints Odds – CJ’s Take
The Rams, who won the NFC West last season and then made some key player additions this year, are sitting at 8-0 straight-up (4-3-1 ATS). Jared Goff, the former top pick in the NFL Draft, is throwing for an insane 9.6 yards per attempt in Sean McVay’s offense. But obviously the main cog, and a guiy being mentioned as an MVP favorite, is running back Todd Gurley, who already has 1151 yards from scrimmage (800 rushing, 351 receiving).
This is actually something that can be billed as the “Battle of the Dual-Purpose Backs” as New Orleans (6-1 SU, 5-2 ATS) has Alvin Kamara, who has more modest numbers in comparison (801 yards – 400 rushing, 393 in receptions), but is very productive nonetheless. What head coach Sean Payton wants to do is integrate Mark Ingram more and more into the offense; he has had just 148 rushing yards since he returned from his suspension three games ago.
Drew Brees has been incredible this season, completing 77.4% of his passes with 14 touchdowns and only one interception. Opposing pass rushes have been unable to get to him as well (just nine sacks). And his top receiver is Michael Thomas, who can line up out wide or in the slot, and can do a lot of damage to secondaries by exploiting matchups. He has 58 catches for 669 yards.
The Saints are coming off road wins at Baltimore and Minnesota, and that is very impressive. In terms of technical trends, Brees has covered his last eleven games at home when they follow two games on the road. The Rams average 33 points per game; they are first in yards per drive and third in points per drive. The Saints have numbers rather similar; they average 33.4 points per game, and are ranked third in yards per drive and first in points per drive. So the message to gather from this is – these offensive units are very efficient.
Statistically, there is a difference on defense, where the Saints are just 28th in the NFL in yards and points allowed on a per-drive basis, and are 30th in red zone defense. Is that an edge the Rams can exploit?
Maybe, but let’s remember that New Orleans has been very effective in stopping the run, allowing just 3.2 yards per carry, so they might have the potential to make the Rams one-dimensional. Also, consider that in these last four games, the Saints have allowed just 80 points, so the defense has been on a relative uptick. They’ve won nine of their last 10 home games, and the Rams have really cut it close in three of their last four, so perhaps New Orleans is a “live” dog in this instance.
