Saints vs Rams Prediction
The current betting odds have the Rams listed as a 14 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Rams have looked really good in their games this season with their 5-2 record overall which has them right near the top of the NFC West. They are off a 35-7 win over the Jaguars in their last one and they have been starting to roll in their games lately. They are also coming out of their bye week so they have some extra rest for this game. Meanwhile, the Saints have looked terrible in their games this season with their 1-7 record overall which has them right at the bottom of the NFC South with one of the worst records in the entire NFL. They are off a 23-3 loss at home to the Bucs in their last one and they finally made a change at QB in that one. They benched Rattler for Shough, but he wasn't any better in the offense and this team has a lot more issues than just their quarterback. The Saints have also looked a lot better in their home games this year, but they are 0-3 in their road games with some much worse losses too. This is a game between one of the worst teams in the NFL this year and a team that is a Super Bowl contender. The Rams are going to come out of their bye week strong and keep rolling against another bad team here. The best way to place a bet here is on the Rams to cover the spread in this game.
Saints Rams Prediction: Our NFL Pick for Sunday, November 2, 2025 (4:05 pm ET start time) is Rams 38 Saints 6.
