Rams vs. Saints Prediction: Roll with the Healthier Saints in the Superdome

The Los Angeles Rams travel to the Bayou to take on the New Orleans Saints in a NFC showdown in the Bovada Superdome.

The Rams haven’t lived up to expectations and have been plagued with injures.

That got worse this week when it was announced that WR Cooper Kupp will go on IR with an ankle injury.

Compound that with the fact that starting QB Matthew Stafford is still in concussion protocol, things are just going from bad to worse.

The Saints can relate to losing their top wideout, as Michael Thomas was placed on IR last week and is done for the season.

The Saints still have star RB Alvin Kamara and rookie WR Chris Olave as legit weapons, but QB Andy Dalton has looked very pedestrian over the past few weeks.

Overall, both of these teams are a mess, and that shows with their records.

The Rams are 3-6 and the Saints are 3-7 and both are looking like playoff onlookers.

In a battle of two teams most likely on the outside looking in, who can find a way to salvage a glimmer of hope on Sunday?

Prediction

With the Cooper Kupp injury and Matthew Stafford’s uncertain health, this is a bad spot for the Rams.

The Superdome is a tough place to play, even when the Saints are struggling.

I expect the Saints to come out and be aggressive in this game and feed off of the home crowd.

Add in the fact that, even though the Saints are 3-7, they are still in the playoff hunt in the NFC South.

If they lose this one, things get a lot more complicated.

I am riding with the healthier offense and fiesty defense to cover the points at home and win to stay alive.

Best Bet

Saints -4.5 (-108)
