NFL Week 15 MNF: Rams vs Packers Betting Analysis
In Baker, Do We Trust?

From Lookahead NFL Lines to NFL Week 15
Preseason markets projected a pick’em line for this late-season, primetime Monday night showdown. But that was then, when perceptions weren’t tainted by the challenges in both camps that would ensue.
A lot has changed since then. Case in point, last week’s lookahead window projected a line of Packers -9 for this game. That was before Mayfield arrived in Tinseltown on Tuesday, two days before engineering the unthinkable come-from-behind 17-16 win over the Raiders at SoFi Stadium.
On the back of the Los Angeles win, which snapped a six-game skid, the market repositioned itself slightly and opened with the official Week 15 line, Packers -7½.

Rams vs Packers NFL Betting Predictions
At the face of it, very little separates the Rams from the Packers, whether it is in terms of their records on the season or how far out of the playoff frame they are as the season winds down. And yet, the Rams vs Packers Betting Analysis couldn’t be more one sided.
The Rams did improve their stock after Thursday’s win, but only marginally. Beating Derek Carr and Co. doesn’t say much except that the Raiders are not a very good nfl team, and that, in of itself, isn’t a ringing endorsement of Mayfield or the Rams. Quite the opposite, actually.
One win doesn’t make Mayfield all of a sudden a trustworthy quarterback or the Rams worldbeaters. What’s more, before he was picked off of the waiver wire, the Cleveland Browns cast-off couldn’t buy a win for the Carolina Panthers no matter how hard he tried.
Rodgers rested up and motivated to salvage his side’s campaign as they prepare for the final push into the postseason. Slim though the chances are, Green Bay needs to be flawless in its last four games and considerable outside help to make the cut.
It’s difficult, therefore, to see Mayfield and the Rams pulling off the outright upset over Aaron Rodgers and Co. in Green Bay. Especially, with Rodgers rested up and motivated to salvage his side’s campaign as they prepare for the final push into the postseason. Slim though the chances are, Green Bay needs to be flawless in its last four games and considerable outside help to make the cut.
NFL Betting Picks
Backing the Packers for the outright win, thus taking one step forward in this quest, offers little value for NFL picks and parlays with odds set to -300 (bet $300 to win $100). The better bet has to be the Packers at -7½ (+115) on the point spread.
Yes, it’s a lot of points to lay with the hosts. But – at the risk of being repetitive – they’re playing against a banged up Rams team that is being led by M-A-Y-F-I-E-L-D! The same Mayfield that is on his third team in less than six months.
Pick: Packers -7½ (+115)
