Los Angeles at Cincinnati

Joe Burrow will be a game-time decision on whether he plays or not, but even if he does he clearly is not close to 100 percent healthy as he continues to deal with a calf injury. Jake Browning is the backup and he has attempted one pass in his NFL career and Cincinnati this week signed AJ McCarron, who played for the Bengals fron 2014-17. This is the first meeting since Los Angeles beat the Bengals 23-20 in the 2022 Super Bowl and the Rams have looked better than expected their first two games after defeating Seattle and then keeping it close against San Francisco. A lot of it has to do with the sensational rookie wide receiver Puka Nacua, who has a rookie record of 25 receptions in his first two games and he is second in the league with 266 yards receiving. Cincinnati didn't record a first down until 10 minutes into the second quarter in its 27-24 loss to Baltimore and that was with Burrow playing. The Bengals are dead last in the NFL in total offense yards and second-to-last in passing yards. The Rams have covered six straight following a loss and they are 5-0 UNDER their past five road games and 5-2 UNDER their past seven games overall. Cincinnati is 17-8-1 UNDER its past 26 games. Take the Rams as a Max Play and the UNDER.
