Falcons vs. Rams Free Pick
The Atlanta Falcons now own the best record in the NFC but they can’t suffer a letdown this Sunday against the highly competitive St. Louis Rams. Continue reading for our free pick on this Week 11 contest.
According to latest NFL Odds, oddmakers from online sports book Sportsbook.com have made the Falcons a 3-point favorite over the Rams in Week 11. The over/under total for this game is currently 43.5 points.
After beating the Ravens in Week 10, the Falcons improved to a NFC-best 7-2 this season according to latest NFL trends. They’ve also covered in five of their first nine games, although they’re just 2-2 ATS on the road this season.
The Rams dropped to 4-5 this season after suffering a fourth-quarter collapse against the 49ers. But they’re 7-2 against the number this year and 4-1 at home (both straight up and against the spread).
Our Week 11 NFL Free Pick:
The last time the Falcons came off a big win it was against the Saints earlier in the year. The following week they laid an egg against the 49ers, who lost but covered easily in a 16-14 game at the Georgia Dome. Now the Falcons are in a similar spot. They beat a very good Ravens team last Thursday and will now take on a Rams squad that owns a losing record but has played very well under rookie Sam Bradford at home. If Matt Ryan and company let up, the Falcons could suffer a huge road loss and give back their one-game lead in the NFC South. But we think Atlanta won’t succumb to that this time around. Michael Turner will be the key here, as the Falcons get back to the running game. The Rams have played pretty well defensively this year but they don’t have the tools to stop Roddy White and Tony Gonzalez for four quarters. Our pick is the Falcons minus the points.
