The under is 4-1 in Rams last 5 road games. The under is 5-1 in Chiefs last 6 home games. The Rams are 0-5-1 ATS in their last 6 meetings.
Thick line, but for good reason. The Los Angeles Rams are going nowhere fast with their lousy offensive line, no Kupp and an offense overall that’s 29th in scoring. The Kansas City Chiefs are on a roll offensively and their defense can be good when it wants to be, which includes being fifth against the run. It’s hard seeing the Rams put up much of a fight with an offense that’s so handicapped. It’s Chiefs or pass for me.
