The New Orleans Saints aim for a ninth straight victory when they visit LA Rams Sunday afternoon. The Rams had won five straight before taking a 24-7 loss at Minnesota last week, and I think they'll come up short again when facing a Saints D which has held six of its last eight opponents to 20 or fewer points. We can also note that the Rams will have to do without top wide receiver Robert Woods for the next couple of games due to a shoulder injury

The Saints have always had a good arm in Drew Brees, but this season they've been able to add a solid D and a potent ground game led by veteran Mark Ingram and rookie Alvin Kamara. The Rams gave up 171 rushing yards to the Vikings last week and they're surrendering 4.5 yards per carry on the season - ranking their run defense 27th out of 32 teams.

My selection is an 8* play on New Orleans Saints.
