Stephen Nover's Underdog Shocker

Point Spread: 10.00 | -120.00 St. Louis (Away)
Result: Loss
Point Spread: 10.00 | -120.00 St. Louis (Away)
Result: Loss
The Rams have that winning combination with the best pass rushing defensive front in football and potential franchise back Todd Gurley to run the ball.
Finally healthy and comfortable in a new offense, Gurley had his breakout party last week rushing for 146 yards on 19 carries against Arizona. Green Bay has improved its run defense but still ranks 21st versus the run.
The Packers are vulnerable to a great pass rushing defensive line minus right tackle Bryan Bulaga. Green Bay's weak links on its offensive line are replacement right tackle Don Barclay and left tackle David Bakhtiari, who will be matched against Robert Quinn. The Packers won't be able to double team any of the Rams because St. Louis doesn't have a weak link on its defensive front.
Instead look for Green Bay to run the ball more than normal, which eats clock. Aaron Rodgers already is down Jordy Nelson and doesn't expect to have Davonte Adams either.
The last time Nick Foles played at Lambeau Field was in 2013 when he led the Eagles to a 27-13 win throwing for 228 yards and three touchdowns. Gurley makes Foles and everyone else on offense a better player.
Jeff Fisher has long been a money-making as an underdog coach with better than a 58 percent ATS record when his team gets points.
