Saints (-3) over the Rams.Not seeing Jared Goff going into the Big Easy and performing well.The kid has talent but the key word in that phrase is 'kid'.If the Saints can neutralize Aaron Donald, Drew Brees should be able to pick apart LA.I'm thinking a two score victory for New Orleans, on the order of 34-23 or thereabouts.

Push with the Saints and a loss with the Chiefs.
Currently, the line is Patriots by 2 with a 58 O/U.Started life as a pick 'em and 57 1/2.
I think a dome helps the Rams more than the Patriots and the Rams D is better than KC's (it couldn't be worse).But given my playoff record my opinion doesn't have a lot of credibility.
Playoff YTD. 4-5-1
