Falcons at Rams Odds, Prediction For Week 2

Falcons at Rams Preview

The Rams looked flat and lost offensively in their 31-10 loss to the Bills to open the season. One week into an NFL season, even with very small resumes, we still tend to form at least some semblance of an opinion, and it's not a good one with the Rams.

They obviously can't afford to come out flat against Atlanta, a team that held a 16-point lead to the Saints, before blowing it in a 27-26 loss.

Los Angeles Rams

After heading into halftime in a 10-10 tie with the Bills, everything fell apart for the Rams. Buffalo outgained them by 170 yards, and outscored them 21-0 after that, leading to a week full of questions in Los Angeles.

Matthew Stafford had his worst game since coming over from Detroit, going just 29-for-41 passing for 213 yards, a touchdown and three interceptions. That being said, I'm not nearly as concerned about Stafford struggling against a Falcons secondary that gave up 269 yards and two touchdowns to Jameis Winston in Week 1. This should be a bounce-back game for the offense.

Although, it would help if Allen Robinson had more than just two targets this time out from Stafford, just sayin'.

Atlanta Falcons

Atlanta is actually 5-1 straight up in their last six games against the Rams, but this time there's no Matt Ryan out there, and it's a team that has its eyes on the No. 1-overall pick in next year's draft, despite their best effort against the Saints.

Marcus Mariota looked comfortable in his debut, throwing for 215 yards with another 72 and a touchdown on the ground. Cordarrelle Patterson also continues to thrive in Atlanta with 136 total yards and a touchdown.

The Falcons have some firepower here, and they'll do what they can to deploy it against L.A.

Falcons at Rams Prediction: Over 47.5

Seven of the Rams' last nine games against Atlanta have gone over, and with a massive opening spread in favor of L.A., it's better to count on both offenses finding a rhythm than taking the Rams -10.5.

Atlanta showing it could hang with a Saints defense that was fourth in points allowed last year gives enough confidence that both teams could come out firing and hit the over.
