LOS ANGELES – The Falcons are taking on the Rams for the second week of the NFL season and there are betting odds and lines for both teams getting their first win of the 2022 NFL season. Even though they struggled in week 2 against the Bills, the Rams are 10.5-point favorites for the NFC matchup on Sunday.
Betting on the Rams to Fail to Cover in Week 2
The Rams ended their 2021 season with a Super Bowl ring and have won eight of their last 10 games SU. Even though they have found ways to pull out wins, the Rams have a record ATS of 2-5 over their last seven games. They have gone 1-4 ATS in their last five games played on a Sunday.
The Falcons were 5.5-point underdogs vs the Saints on Sunday but managed to cover the spread and only lose by a single point on a last-second NOLA field goal.
While Marcus Mariota has not proved that he is a closer, there is still value in betting on the Falcons keeping it close in LA and the Rams failing to cover the spread once again. Since the 2015 season, the Falcons have gone 6-1 ATS during the second week of the NFL season.
Betting on Scoring Props
The Falcons put up 26 points during their loss to the Saints on Sunday and the Rams only put up 10 against the Buffalo Bills last Thursday. The over/under for the Rams and Falcons matchup has been set at 47.5, with both sides having -110 odds.
There is more value for betting on the NFL through scoring total props, instead of wagering on the two teams to combine for over/under 47.5 total.
