The Atlanta Falcons (0-1) and Los Angeles Rams (0-1) both dropped their season openers in Week 1 and will now square off Sunday at SoFi Stadium. Kickoff is set for 4:05 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Falcons vs. Rams odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.
The Falcons should be 1-0 right now, but as they often do, they blew a big 4th-quarter lead against the New Orleans Saints in Week 1. They were up 16 points with 13 minutes remainings but allowed New Orleans to battle all the way back, eventually losing 27-26 on a field goal with 19 seconds left. The Falcons had 8 more first downs and put up 416 total yards, but they still came up short.
The Rams also lost in Week 1, getting blown out 31-10 at home by the Buffalo Bills. QB Matthew Stafford threw 3 interceptions, the team rushed for just 52 yards and new WR Allen Robinson was targeted just twice. It was a frustrating loss for the defending champions, but it did come against the Super Bowl favorites.
