The 6-6 New England Patriots are riding a 2-game winning streak and if they want to make it 3, they had better bring their A game tonight when they visit SoFi Stadium to face the Los Angeles Rams. The 8-4 Rams have won 3 of their last 4, with the 3 wins coming against quality opponents: Seattle Seahawks, Tampa Bay Bucs and the Arizona Cardinals. On both sides of the ball, the Rams are formidable. Their offense is ranked #3 in the league, averaging 395.3 yards a game, and their defense is ranked #2, allowing an average of just 291.3 yards per game. Cam Newton could be in for a rough night, facing the league’s best against the pass so the Pats will rely heavily on a run game that is averaging 150.9 yards per game but the Rams will have an answer for that. They are ranked #3 against the run, allowing a stingy 93.1 yards per game. Overall LA is the better team. They are 4-1 at home and have not forgotten Super Bowl LIII.
TONIGHT’S PICK: LOS ANGELES RAMS M/L
