St. Louis Rams @ Miami Dolphins: Spread
|
At this point, I’d be willing to be on just about any team in the NFL to cover 9 points against St. Louis. Whether Steven Jackson plays or not, this team is terrible on both sides of the football. St. Louis is ranked 28th offensively and 30th defensively. On average, St. Louis has been outscored by a margin of 18 points per game by the opposition. Lately, it has been really ugly for the Rams as they have been outscored by an average margin of 27 points in their last 4 contests. |
They are facing the 6-5 Miami Dolphins who are in the midst of a playoff race. Chad Pennington is coming off a very impressive performance against New England where he threw for 3 touchdowns and 348 yards. Marc Bulger, on the other hand is recovering from a concussion he suffered last week against Chicago. The trends also favor Miami. The Dolphins are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 road games, meanwhile the Rams are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 home games. I don’t like laying big points with Miami but I just can’t see St. Louis covering. Take the Dolphins with the points.
