Without him Rams could have trouble scoring enough points.
On another note Underdogs in last 10 are 8-2 ATS. with 7 winning outright.
Line still at 2 1/2. According to Vegas Insider when line moved to -3 money came in on Rams, knocked it right back to 2 1/2 in 20 minutes.

Right on, and probably every year a majority of the money has been on the fave. I should look that up but I'm willing to bet its true . The bookies make a killing on the SB. Like I said, the people that bet all the time...….follow that. So, that doesn't surprise me at all. They see +3 as a buy. People think that they don't realize that the average person that doesn't bet much....is gonna hammer the favorite? On this game, that gets factored in and they go for the year end coup. Which, doesn't happen every time, but it works good enough.
As for Gurley, hes been hurt for a while. Even if hes recovered, hes probably not 100%. That's the beauty of Anderson. What a move, hes a downhill bowling ball with great blockers. And he picks up the blitz. I have to wonder if the Rams thought they might see the Patriots. Cause the Patriots have seen Andersons act before......and they didn't like it.
