Early betting lines for NFL Week 16 suggest it’s very likely the Rams will be eliminated from playoff contention before Christmas. AdvertisementThe Rams would have to win out to create a push with their target of 10 wins. Game-by-game bettors are 9-5 backing the Rams this season, a team largely underrated on a weekly basis while overrated for the full season. The point spread has USC as an underdog of 1.5 or 2 points, depending on the sportsbook. They’re down just under five units for the season against money lines, just under 4.5 units on the puck line with a 14-18-3 record.
