Ever since that infamous 2019 NFC championship game, the New Orleans Saints (4-7) have held a grudge against the Los Angeles Rams (5-6). Now the two sides will meet again in the same place where that wild game took place.
Trying to get in the way of Saquon Barkley and the Philadelphia Eagles? Good luck with that. Philadelphia’s running back made another case for MVP when he ran all over Los Angeles and the Rams simply couldn’t respond. It’s a tough loss, but not all hope should be lost with Los Angeles still in the running for the NFC West lead.
New Orleans might not have wanted the last week off after it has put together two wins in consecutive games. There is still a slim chance of playoff hopes for the Saints, but they aren’t out of it just yet. Could it be time for a turnaround in the Big Easy?
The Rams are favorites to defeat the Saints, according to the BetMGM NFL odds. Not interested in this game? Check out expert picks and best bets for every NFL game this week.

New Orleans has been much better with Darren Rizzi as interim coach. The Rams have been rather hit or miss. With Alvin Kamara and Taysom Hill bringing more versatility to the Saints’ offense, I can see the Rams struggling to stop them.
Saquon Barkley is still running on the Rams a week later. Expect the Saints to incorporate a lot of the same concepts with Alvin Kamara this week. The Rams should be ready for it.
It should be all business for a Rams team that still believes it can win the NFC West ― and they just might.
New Orleans has looked rejuvenated ever since Dennis Allen was let go. However, the team will have its hands full when the Rams offense comes into town in need of getting a win. Los Angeles leaves with a close victory.
