The Saints opened at -1. It's now up to -3 in most places. -3.5 on SI's sportsbook.

There's a reason. The Rams have only won three games this season and they just lost their starting LT, RG, and their top offensive weapon last week alone. They have more players (12) on IR than we have (11). Even prior to these hits to their offense they had scored 74 points fewer than the Saints, albeit in one less game, averaging the 29th fewest in the league thus far.

But, most importantly, the Saints are at home. That usually comes with a three point cushion in the odds. So, basically, the game is a pick 'em right now.

So now you're saying it isn't so hard to believe. But, yes, pretty obvious.

Means your reasons are pitiful and unworthy. Just like your predictions of undefeated seasons

Re: Injury Report - Week 11 - Rams @ Saints

Saints opened as a 3 point favorite in many spots and got as high as 4 point favorite in some…

We haven’t been able to do well against Aaron Donald with healthy linemen and Drew Brees playing. Baltimore wrecked us with their new LB. Pittsburgh wrecked us with Watt. With the injuries we have it’s easy to expect Donald is gonna wreck us as well. Plus they know the refs are gonna screw us.

Anything can happen but it’s surprising vegas didn’t see it that way.
