LA Rams vs New Orleans Saints Prediction
The Los Angeles Rams are the better team on paper, but that's not saying much. The Rams are dreadful defensively and not a team I'm excited to lay points with on the road. The New Orleans Saints are coming off back-to-back wins and have seen 3 of their 4 wins this season come at home. The Saints have an above-average offense that can take advantage of the Rams' defense that's one of the worst in the NFL. I'll grab the free field goal with the Saints at home
Randy’s Pick New Orleans Saints +3
