The Los Angeles Rams will be hoping to halt a 2-game losing streak when they visit the Green Bay Packers on Sunday afternoon. Green Bay is also coming off a loss, but it is undefeated at Lambeau Field this season. Let’s take a look at the best same game parlay option for Rams vs Packers, and also be sure to check out our full game preview for picks on the side and total.
Part of the value in same game parlays, of course, is that all of its components can be correlated if you so choose. That is some of the plan here, as Matthew Stafford being held in check would obviously work well with both a Green Bay win and an under play. At the same time, plays that aren’t correlated drive up the overall payout of the parlay. Although a relatively slow day for Davante Adams would likely lead to an under, it wouldn’t help the Packers’ chances. But that isn’t a big deal because the call here is for the Packers to win a low-scoring affair.
Los Angeles is coming off consecutive setbacks at the hands of Tennessee (28-16) and San Francisco (31-10). The Rams’ offense has suddenly dried up, with 16 points against the Titans followed by 10 against the 49ers. Robert Woods is out for the year, making the Odell Beckham Jr. signing an even more sensible move. However, Beckham had no impact (2 catches for 18 yards) during an overall disastrous performance against the 49ers. Green Bay has lost 2 of its last 3, but both setbacks came on the road. Aaron Rodgers and company are 4-0 straight up and 4-0 against the spread within the friendly confines of Lambeau Field this season. Rodgers has 21 touchdowns and 4 interceptions, including 9 TDs and just 1 INT at home. Close to freezing temperatures and considerable winds on Sunday should only help the home team — at least compared to how the Rams will find it.
L.A. has scored a total of 26 points in the last 2 weeks. Green Bay limited Kansas City and Seattle to a combined 13 points prior to last week’s disappointment against the Vikings. On the bright side for the Rams, linebacker Leonard Floyd is expected to be ready to go after dealing with a concussion. Less than ideal conditions for the offenses only boosts the chances of a relatively low-scoring affair. The under is 4-1-1 in the Rams’ last 6 overall and 7-1 in the Packers’ last 8 overall.
Green Bay is seventh in the NFL in passing defense (213.2 yards per game allowed) and sixth in yards per pass attempt allowed (6.6). Stafford is coming off a 243-yard effort against the Niners and he has been picked off 4 times in the last 2 games. The weather conditions plus hopes of controlling the clock and keeping Rodgers off the field are all the more reason for the visitors to keep the ball on the ground instead of taking to the air.
Similarly, the Packers may not be in line for a huge afternoon via the passing attack. The Rams boast one of the best cornerback duos in the league in Jalen Ramsey and Darious Williams. Adams has been held to no more than 89 yards in 4 of the last 5 contests. More of the same should be expected to continue in Week 12.
