We’ve known for a while that the Rams would be facing the Lions this season, and it wasn’t until May that we learned the game would be played in Week 7. It always looked like a very winnable game for the Rams, one they’re fully expected to win at home.
They opened the week as 15.5-point favorites on Monday and surprisingly, that line hasn’t moved. According to Tipico Sportsbook, the Rams are still -15.5 against the Lions, with the over/under sitting at 50.5 points. The Rams money line is -1200, meaning a $1,200 bet would return a profit of $100 – not exactly a huge reward for the risk required.
Only the Cardinals are bigger favorites than the Rams this week. They’re 18.5-point favorites over the Texans, and are expected to maintain their perfect record for another week.
This season, the Rams are 4-2 against the spread, only failing to cover against the Cardinals and Colts. The Lions are a respectable 3-3 against the spread, suffering two last-second-losses to the Ravens and Vikings.
