NFL Week 14 Free Pick:
With the way the Saints and Rams have racked up the points over the past month, this game appears like it could be a shootout. That said, the Saints’ defense had to be embarrassed the way it played last Sunday in Cincinnati and we expect Gregg Williams’ squad to be more polished this Sunday against the Rams. While nobody will confuse the Rams’ offense with the Saints’, there are similarities between these two teams that we feel could lead to a lower-scoring game than most expect. Sam Bradford loves to keep his passes within 7-15 yards and for as good as Drew Brees is as stretching the field, he’ll often settle for a safe check-down play himself. We think their will be plenty of long, sustained drives in this contest and seeing as how both teams stiffen up when their opponents reach the end zone, we think the under is the play here. The under is 4-1 in the Rams’ last five games in December and 9-4 in the Saints’ last 13 games following an ATS loss. Our pick is the under 47.
