Los Angeles Rams vs. New York Jets Preview
I don’t usually show this much value this late in the season, but I’m closer to Rams -1.5 on this one. That means I have to bet the Jets at +3.5 — it’s my favorite bet of the week.
If you look at last season, the Rams went on a late-season surge to make the playoffs. After that surge was a Week 17 game in New York against the Giants. Los Angeles won against a Tyrod Taylor-led Giants offense, but a late Mason Crosby missed field goal was the reason why.
This spot is eerily similar. There’s a chance the Rams come out a little flat in cold weather with the high in the 20s on Sunday.
What have the Rams done on the road and outdoors?
Their offense is a different animal on the road. This is a team that went to New Orleans a couple of weeks ago and almost lost. If Taysom Hill doesn’t get hurt, the end of that game might play out differently.
Then, last week against the 49ers in bad conditions for the first half, the offense did nothing before slightly coming alive in the second half. Los Angeles didn’t score a touchdown in the game, though.
Earlier in the season, the Rams were blown out on the road against the Cardinals, then they lost to the Bears. There was also a game in Seattle that Los Angeles had no business winning, but two Geno Smith interceptions did the trick before the Rams won in overtime.
This Rams offense is much less efficient when playing outdoors, and they’re traveling across the country.
The Rams have also won seven one-possession games this season, including three in a row. The Jets, meanwhile, have lost seven one-possession games.
Aaron Rodgers is starting to look better and is experienced in the cold, so this might be where the Jets finally get a win in a close game.
Try to grab the 3.5 points if you can. Otherwise, I’m still seeing value at a field goal for the Jets to make the Rams uncomfortable in this one.
My Pick: Jets +3
