The Vegas line is laughable.
7.5 point underdogs.
Rams have beaten 1 winning team by more than a touchdown this season and that was way back in week 3 against the Chargers. Some lines show 7 points, if you want to count that line they beat two. They beat the 1-1-1 Vikings at home by 7.
Since the Vikings victory and October rolled around. The Rams have a -4 point differential in 7 non-divisional games. Since September, they have only beat one non-divisional opponent by two scores. That was against the Lions where the Rams went up by a touchdown with 1:54 remaining.
They also have a combined 1 point differential against the 8 winning teams they played this season...but they’re gonna beat Dallas by more than a touchdown?
To be fair, we haven’t exactly lit it up against teams with winning records this season but we have also won 8 of our last 9 games where the Rams lost 2 out of their last 4...coincidentally to playoff teams. They blew their shot at home field advantage even though they were clearly in the drivers seat with 4 to go after we did them a favor and beat the Saints. If they didn’t win week 17, they would’ve lost home field advantage all together.
I don’t know what’s going to happen tomorrow and I’m sure Vegas knows more than me but I hope the Cowboys take this illogical spread to heart.
