I found these odds all over the place, but I"m comfortable if you get it at +5 as well. All of a sudden GB gets a win on the road against a good team and they are back? I still think the Packers have a ton of issues and they are one of the more arrogant bunch of players who go on the road to play in St. Louis, a very difficult place to play. GB is all banged up in their front 7 and they will have their hands full with the Rams running game that just ran all over the then #1 run defense in Miami. In fact they put up 462 yards vs. one of the top defenses and they did it on the road. They went on to lose that game so much of that story is hidden by their 2-5 field goals that cost them the game. I'm fine with that as the perception of most is, "same old Rams." Many are jumping on the Packers and I'm not buying it.
The Rams have one of the best coaching staffs in the league and GB is a one dimensional offense that will have issues going up against the Rams, because the Rams are one of the best pass defenses in the league. It starts up fornt where they are 7th in sack %, and get to the QB 10.34% of drop backs. That does not bode well for Aaron Rodgers who is not having as good of a year. Rodgers has been sacked 12.2% of the time he drops back on the road and now without Cedric Benson he's thin at RB. I just think the Rams offense is improving and going up against GB's 27th ranked RZ defense where they have struggled will only help them in this game. I think the Rams have a lot of confidence now and could win this game outright because of their strengths. Look for Janoris Jenkins and Cortland Finnegan to make some impact plays when Rodgers throws the ball.
