With the regular season underway, opportunities to bet on the Los Angeles Rams have returned. Whether you like to wager on the spread or over/under, or you dabble in prop bets, there’s something for everyone in Week 1.
The Rams are heading to Detroit to take on the Lions, who bounced them from the playoffs last January. Despite missing some key players due to injuries and a suspension, the Rams have a good chance to pull off the road upset.

Considering how involved Robinson was in the second half of last season, and how well he performed in practice all summer as the No. 3 receiver, this line seems a bit low. In the last six games he played with Matthew Stafford last season, including the playoffs, he never had fewer than 44 yards. Against the Lions in the wild-card round, he caught three of six targets for 44 yards.
Assuming he’s still the clear-cut No. 3 wideout, he should see at least five or six targets again on Sunday night and considering he averaged 14.1 yards per reception in those six games, it might only take two catches for him to clear 26.5 yards.

Kupp only scored five times last season but believe it or not, he was Stafford’s preferred red zone target over Puka Nacua. He was targeted 18 times when the Rams were inside the 20 compared to 16 for Nacua – and that’s despite playing five fewer games.
The rapport Kupp has with Stafford in the close quarters of the red zone make him a threat to score every time the Rams get inside the 10- or 20-yard line. During his last fully healthy season in 2021, he was typically -110 or shorter to score a touchdown each week. This number feels like a good value.

The danger, of course, is that he picks up a few yards and then kneels at the end…
