The Packers are -325, which is far too much to give up. If you feel you have to make a play on this, a small bet on the Rams at +260 could be worth the dice roll.
With key injuries in too many spots, the best option here is simply to AVOID this bet.
The key here is the Rams offense is going to likely have to depend on the run too much for a warm-weather team in a cold climate. There are too many key injuries and bad scenarios facing the Rams as they head to Wisconsin in mid-January to face a rested Packers team with a lot of advantages that don’t require fans.
TAKE THE PACKERS -6.5 (-115) to win by at least 7 points.
This is a tough one because, if the Packers defense can get a turnover or two – very possible – this one could get away from the Rams with the hot hand Packers QB Aaron Rodgers has been wielding. The Rams faced a lot of good offenses this season and were the No. 1 defense for a reason.
When you factor in the Rams offense, barring a defensive or special teams touchdown, all signs point to the Packers bottling up their run game and forcing the issue. TAKE THE UNDER 46.5 (-115).
