The Rams have been putting up 8.6 freaking points per game, and Steven Jackson is toiling away in one of the most woeful situations across the league. In terms of NFL betting, the Rams haven\u2019t been able to secure any type of faith, unless you consider that they\u2019ve gone 4-3 in the O\/U. Detroit isn\u2019t much better, not that that should surprise you. A 31.1 points allowed average means that they\u2019ve been able to hit the over in 3-of-6 games. Matt Stafford might play in this game, but Calvin Johnson is totally healthy meaning that he\u2019ll have a woeful secondary to take on. Can you smell the burning? It\u2019s the scoreboard.<\/p>\n St. Louis Rams (0-7) vs. Detroit Lions (1-5) In a game that will allow Calvin Johnson to light up the secondary, the Rams have just one choice to counter. And the name of that counter is \u201cSteven Jackson\u201d. The rush defense of the Lions allows 112.3 yards per game and while the Rams give up a hideous amount of yards against on the ground (135.9), I think that Jackson\u2019s undeniable presence in the ground game gives the Rams a chance in this one. If you\u2019re unsure about which side of the BetUS NFL Sportsbook line to take, side with the OVER.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/media.partners.betus.com\/BANNERS\/football\/sportsbook_football_250x250_mybanner3.gif\")
<\/a>Allowing 30.1 points per game certainly gives you a helping hand in covering any TOTAL the Rams take part in.<\/p>\n
