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
