Rams “Home” Underdogs in London Date with Giants
Following a pair of straight-up and against the spread losses, the Los Angeles Rams travel to London for a Sunday morning game, where they will play host to the New York Giants in an NFL Week 7 matchup at Twickenham Stadium.
The Rams failed to protect a seven-point fourth-quarter lead in last weekend's 31-28 loss in Detroit, dropping them to 3-3 SU and ATS on the season. Los Angeles enters this weekend's clash as a betting underdog for the sixth straight time. The Rams are winless in their past two, ending a five-game SU and ATS win streak while pegged as underdogs.
The Giants make the transatlantic journey after coming out on top in last week's see-saw battle with Baltimore, eking out a 27-23 win as 3.5-point chalk to end a three-game SU losing slide, and a seven-game ATS winless streak. However, New York has struggled on the road, losing two straight SU, and covering in just one of the past six.
New York has dominated the Rams, winning six straight SU, and covering in each of their past seven. However, the Rams have performed well against the Giants when listed as underdogs by three or fewer points, covering the spread and winning outright on three of four occasions.
