It was an uneventful weekend for the Los Angeles Rams, who had their bye week after playing the Cardinals in London. They were forced to sit by and watch the Seahawks beat the Texans and pull within a tie for first in the NFC West.

Fortunately, L.A. will be back in action on Sunday when it takes on the Giants on the road. The Rams will once again be away from the Coliseum in Week 9, traveling across the country to take on New York.

Not surprisingly, the Rams opened as favorites in this one. According to Vegas Insider, L.A. is a 3.5-point favorite over the Giants, who are also coming off of their bye.

The Giants are 1-6, but their defense poses a threat to the Rams offense. They have a handful of dynamic pass rushers, big run-stuffers up front and a secondary that’s aggressive. That’s not a to say the Giants will beat the Rams, but it’ll be yet another test for Jared Goff and the offense.

It also doesn’t help that the Rams will be on the road once again. After traveling to Jacksonville, then to London and back to L.A., Sean McVay’s squad will have to get on a plane yet again and fly across the country.

The last time L.A. faced the Giants was in London last season. The Giants won that game 17-10 after scoring 17 unanswered points.
