Post sports gambling editor/producer and digital sports editor Matt Ehalt is in his first season in the Bettor’s Guide.
The Rams are depleted by injuries, with star receivers Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua, sidelined and are a miracle rally against the 49ers away from being winless.
The Packers, meanwhile, welcomed back quarterback Jordan Love last week.
Love struggled at first but found his groove in the second half against a stout Vikings defense in a tough home loss.
The Rams are allowing 28.8 ppg, the second-worst mark in the league.
They’re scoring 18.8 ppg and have topped 21 points once.
Lay the field goal with the Packers against a Rams team that’s too beat up to keep up against a high-powered offense.
Love should have no problem picking apart a defense allowing the second-most yards per game that has registered just seven sacks.
The Chiefs are 4-0 with wins by seven, one, five and seven points.
They just lost star receiver Rashee Rice, possibly for the season; Travis Kelce isn’t an alpha receiver anymore; and their running game is relying on Kareem Hunt, who wasn’t good enough to make a roster out of camp.
Oh, and Patrick Mahomes looks rather ordinary this season.
The Saints rank sixth in the NFL in points allowed per game, at 17.5, and are coming off a game in which they did not allow an offensive touchdown in a tough road loss to the Falcons.
The Chiefs tend to play close games, and 5.5 seems like a lot of points to lay against a quarterback rather familiar with their scheme in Derek Carr.
Last week: 1-1. Commanders (W), Steelers (L)
Season: 2-6.
