Atlanta Falcons vs St. Louis Rams 2010 NFL Picks, 2010 NFL Odds & 2010 NFL Predictions: The Atlanta Falcons will shoot for their eighth win of the season today as they take on the Rams at the Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis. This afternoon's game is scheduled to get underway at 4:05pm ET on FOX. 2010 NFL Picks, Odds & Predictions at Sportsbook.com have the Falcons listed as a -3 against the spread road favorite; the game total is set at 43.
The Falcons produred their third consecutive victory last Thursday night, beating the Baltimore Ravens 26-21 at the Georgia
Dome to improve to 7-2 on the season. Atlanta secured its first place standing in the NFC South for at least one more week with the impressive victory as it now sits a game ahead of both the Saints and Buccaneers.
Quarterback Matt Ryan has been unflappable at home this season, where Atlanta is a perfect 5-0, and he was against the Ravens last week, throwing for 316 yards and three touchdowns. However, Ryan has not fared as well on the road (86 road passer rating compared to 99.7 home passer rating), which has been instrumental in the team's 2-2 road record.
Today the third year pro will have to be at his best to get by a Rams team that has recorded 28 sacks and given up an average of just 12.6 points per game at home.
St. Louis showed its Jekyll and Hyde nature last weekend, falling 23-20 in overtime at San Francisco. The Rams have, for the better part of the season been a see-saw team, alternating between home wins and road losses. Their pattern is typical of a young, rebuilding team, but, despite their youth and inconsistency, they are in a postion to capture the weak NFC West.
The Rams have not lost at home since dropping their opener to the Cardinals 17-13; Sam Bradford and company have defeated Washington, Seattle, San Diego, and Carolina since that setback by an average of 11 points per game.
NFL Picks Betting Trend: The Over is 8-2 in the Rams last 10 games as home dog with a total between 41.5 and 44.
