The Los Angeles Rams are favored on the road (for now) for the second week in a row in the playoffs, and that’s fairly remarkable. According to the information I’ll share below, it would be historic if the Rams can win their second away game in the playoffs while being favored by four or more points.
Rams trying to end improbable 50-year NFL playoff drought against Bears: L.A. favored by historical number (cbssports)
“The Rams opened as a 4.5-point favorite over the Bears, which is notable because if the point spread holds, it would mark the first time in NFL history that a road playoff team has been favored by four points or more in two different games during the same postseason. During the wild card round, the Rams were favored by 10.5 points against the Panthers, making them the largest ROAD favorite in the Super Bowl era.“
Of course, legal betting is still fairly new, so what does this stat actually mean? I don’t know, but seemed like a good Random Ramsdom topic on a Friday!
Thank you all for checking out Turf Show Times, have a safe Friday and enjoy your weekend!

“Jumping or lunging at Williams is futile, Verse said, because “he’s very able to get away from anything you bring to him.” So it is imperative to wrap up the No. 1 pick in the 2024 NFL draft.
“It’s impossible to say like he won’t get away from one of us,” Verse said, “but we all have to keep pursuing him and be able to make that tackle on him.”
The weather and conditions could cause both teams to rely on their rushing attacks.“
