#469 ASA PLAY ON Green Bay Packers -3 over LA Rams, Sunday at 4:25 PM ET - The Rams are really banged up right now and it shows in their performances this season. They will again be without their top 2 WR’s Cupp & Nakua and their offensive still has issues. Partly due to that, their offense has struggled scoring just 18.8 PPG while only averaging 5.2 YPP. That’s not good when your defense can’t stop anyone. LA ranks dead last in the NFL allowing 6.4 YPP and dead last in rushing defense giving up 165 YPG on the ground on 5.0 YPC. That’s not a good recipe for success especially in this game vs a Green Bay offense that is averaging 175 YPG rushing which is 2nd in the league. The Packers struggle offensively to start last week’s game which was expected at QB Love was back but had missed a few weeks prior. However, in the 2nd half GB kicked it in gear and nearly won in a game they trailed 28-7 at half (31-29 final). Once Love and the offense got comfortable and back in synch they tallied over 300 yards in the 2nd half alone. We think they’ll pick up where they left off vs this suspect Rams defense. LA is just not playing well right now. They rank 31st in YPP differential ahead of only New England and they have been outgained in 3 of their 4 games this season. The only team they outgained in the stats was Chicago last week which wasn’t a surprise as the Bears rank last in the NFL in YPP offense. We like Green Bay to win this one by more than a FG.
