Sun, Nov 26, 2017 (2 a.m.)

The Los Angeles Rams continue their tour of fellow NFC divisional leaders with a home date this afternoon against the New Orleans Saints.

Los Angeles’ unexpected 7-2 straight-up, 6-3 against the spread start was one of the stories of the season, but it was evident that clarity on if the Rams were a true contender would come starting last week. That was when they kicked off a stretch of facing the three other teams with the best records in the NFC in four weeks.

The Rams will be looking for a better performance against the Saints than they showed in a 24-7 loss as 2-point underdogs to the Vikings last week. They then play the Eagles to finish off the terrific trio of opponents in two weeks.

For the second straight Sunday, the Rams are in the game of the week in the Sun’s handicapping contest, which means all four prognosticators must one of six weekly picks off of the South Point betting board on the game.
