NFL Odds, Picks & Predictions: Rams vs. Packers
Rams vs. Packers
Although he's been hit with the questionable tag, Matthew Stafford hasn't participated in practice this week, so we'll likely see Brett Rypien behind center. It will be interesting to see how they manage this offense when you have Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp, who are becoming one of the premiere wide receiver tandems. The internet has been a buzz about the future of Jordan Love. It has not been an excellent season for the first-year starter, as he's 22nd in QBR and 33rd in clean pocket percentage. It hasn't helped that Aaron Jones is having his worst season, with a career-low 4.2 yards per carry and two total touchdowns. The Rams can still trust their run, with Darrell Henderson and Royce Freeman being a solid run tandem, while Green Bay struggles to defend the ground game
Pick: Rams +3

What is Betting Against the Spread?
Betting "against the spread" refers to the act of choosing the winning team based on a numeric handicap placed on the team that oddsmakers believe is superior, rather than picking the outright winner. For example, if the Rams face the Bengals, and oddsmakers set the spread at Rams -3.5, you would need Los Angeles to win by 4 or more points in order to cash your Rams bet.
What is an Over/Under Bet?
Over/Under is a wager based on how many points you think will be scored in a specific game. Oddsmakers set the total, and bettors decide whether the final score will be higher or lower than that number. If an Over/Under is set at 44.5 points and you bet Over, you will need the combined score of both teams to be 45 points or higher to win your bet.
What is a Moneyline Bet?
A moneyline bet involves choosing which team you believe will win a specific matchup. The moneyline favorite carries a minus designation, like -130. This means that you need to wager $130 to earn a $100 profit. Conversely, the underdog carries a plus designation, like +110. This means that you win $110 in profit on a $100 bet.
