Wager $10 on the Los Angeles Rams (+3) $22.40 to beat SEA
Lose by less than three points: $18.70 To Lose: $16.76 are 3-6 heading into the Week 10 bye week, which comes at an ideal time for Los Angeles, who are dealing with numerous injuries to key positions. Despite the fact that there is no game this week, the team has made some news with the recent signing of a strong backup quarterback in the form of Carson Wentz.
The Rams’ fan base’s confidence plummeted following the Green Bay loss and abysmal performance by former backup QB Brett Rypien, but it mostly stayed the same this time around, dropping from 40% to 39%. This largely unchanged figure could be attributed to the fact that Los Angeles has finally signed a proven backup for the injured Matthew Stafford, something that has been requested since the mysterious departure of rookie QB Stetson Bennett.
Stafford enters the bye week still recovering from a UCL sprain in his throwing hand. Furthermore, running backs Kyron Williams and Ronnie Rivers are both on injured reserve, tight end Tyler Higbee has been dealing with a slew of injuries that have mostly been kept in house, and middle linebacker Ernest Jones was out last week with a knee injury.
Even players who have not been forced to miss time, such as star rookie wideout Puka Nacua, have been plagued by nagging injuries all season. In Nacua’s case, he suffered a rib injury early in the season and was dealing with knee swelling last week.
However, there is reason to be optimistic, as the Athletic’s Dianna Russini recently reported that Stafford may be ready to return for the Rams’ Week 11 game against the Seattle Seahawks (-6) Place a $10 bet on SEA.Beat WAS: $13.70 Win by 6: $19.09
To lose: $32.00. Furthermore, both Williams and Rivers are eligible to return from injured reserve against the Cardinals in Week 12. LA should use this bye week to rest and get some key players back on the field.
According to DraftKings Sportsbook, the Rams are currently the underdogs in their Week 11 matchup with the Seahawks.
It will be a must-win game for Los Angeles if they hope to remain in contention for the NFC playoffs. To be honest, it may already be too late, but a loss and a 3-7 record would almost certainly crush any remaining hope of turning the season around.
