The Rams have had a lot of injuries to deal with this season, but they have caught fire for the time being in winning four of their last seven games. They hung a 52 on hapless Oakland last week, which has fueled this total a few points upward. But, this is not a good offensive team by any stretch of the imagination. Washington saw Colt McCoy pass for 392 yards last week - a career high. But a lot of that was generated in a lopsided loss, and the Rams now have a lot more game tape. The Rams can get after it up front, so I don't look for McCoy to be so comfortable in the posket this week. The Washington offense also turns the ball over a lot at -7 in turnover margin for third worst in the league. Both of these teams rank in the bottom half of the league in points scored per game, and the total is a bit overdone based on what happened to each last week. The Rams own a 20-5-1 UNDER mark down the stretch in their last 26 December games, while the Skins come in at 20-8-1 to the UNDER in their last 29 at home vs. a team with a losing road record. Take the UNDER.
