Titans vs Rams Prediction
The Rams are coming into this game as a 7.5 point favorite with the current betting odds according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Rams have been getting better on the offensive side of the ball all season but now they have bolstered their defense as well with the trade for Von Miller this week. They are playing a Titans team that has lost their starting running back for the season and still have Julio Jones injured. Henry was their anchor and without him teams do not need to sell out on the run because they do not have anyone as good to run the ball even with the signing of Adrian Peterson. It will be too easy for the Rams to cover Brown in this game which will make it difficult for them to even score here. The best bet to place in this game is on the Rams to cover the spread in this one.
Titans Rams Prediction: Our NFL Pick for Sunday, November 7, 2021 (8:20 pm ET start time) is Rams 31 Titans 13.
