Episode notes
INSIGHT

Rams' Complete Team Surge

  • The Rams have transformed into a complete team with Matthew Stafford, Puka Nacua and a fast-improving defense post-Aaron Donald.
  • Injuries tilt lines dramatically, turning division games into heavyweight chess matches where availability often decides favorites.
INSIGHT

Matchup Context Beats Overall Records

  • Kyle Shanahan performs well specifically against Sean McVay, especially as an underdog against McVay historically.
  • But as a road underdog to other coaches, Shanahan often struggles, so matchup context matters more than raw record.
ADVICE

Lean Unders In Injured Division Games

  • Expect the under in cagey division matchups when injuries force conservative game plans.
  • Consider totals when Shanahan is an underdog to McVay because the under has historically held in those spots.
