Rams at Packers unfold picks

“That is the basic playoff battle of the No. 1 offense in Inexperienced Bay in opposition to the highest protection in Los Angeles. What is going to give? If the Rams have a restricted Aaron Donald, who has a rib damage, that can affect the protection in an enormous approach. The one blocks will not come as a lot for the sting rushers, which is able to put much more strain on the again finish. The Packers had been enjoying excellent offense earlier than the break, however the break day might damage. Aaron Rodgers vs. the Rams secondary and Jalen Ramsey will probably be enjoyable, particularly if Ramsey spends a whole lot of time on Davante Adams. The Rams will possible begin Jared Goff and his injured thumb, however there’s a probability it might be John Wolford. Goff did a pleasant job final week off the bench in opposition to Seattle. The important thing for the Rams will probably be how nicely they run it in opposition to a Inexperienced Bay protection that has bother with the run.

“I believe Inexperienced Bay covers with ease. L.A.’s protection is sweet, however the Packers ought to be capable to transfer the ball behind the Aarons — Rodgers and Jones. I am additionally anticipating an enormous sport from receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling.

Rams at Packers whole picks

“During the last six video games, the Packers have been holding opponents to 18.5 factors per sport and are averaging a +15 level differential over that very same stretch. With Jared Goff nonetheless coping with his surgically repaired proper thumb, I anticipate to see a whole lot of the Los Angeles operating sport, which might play right into a low scoring contest. As temperatures are anticipated to be under freezing on this sport, that might additional restrict Goff’s capabilities throwing on this sport. The X-factor on this sport surrounding the overall, nonetheless, is Los Angeles’ protection in opposition to the Packers offense. Matt LaFleur is from the Sean McVay teaching tree, which implies McVay ought to know each inch of the Inexperienced Bay playbook and will give him a stable benefit in making ready to decelerate Aaron Rodgers.
