Saint Louis Rams: Betting odds, lines and futures

Head coach Scott Linehan will have to work hard on the Saint Louis Rams defense to see a playoff this football season.

Saint Louis Rams: Betting odds, lines and futures Last season's St. Louis Rams record of 8-8 was the most accurate reflection of the team's performance. The offense was good, ranking sixth overall in the league, but the defense needs a lot of improvement after being ranked 23rd last football season. Head coach Scott Linehan will enter his second year on the wheel with the Rams and the team has a solid quarterback in the face of Marc Bulger. Now only if he could get a strong offensive line to prevent the constant sacking, the bettors will be looking forward to a big point spread.

The St. Louis Rams lost their preseason opener 30-13 to the San Diego Chargers, Marques Hagans took a seven-yard pass from Gus Frerotte for the only Rams TD in the loss. The following game the Rams downed the Kansas City Chiefs 10-3 at Edward Jones Dome. Ryan Fitzpatrick completed 12-of-16 pass attempts for 105 yards for St. Louis, and Hagans carried the ball four times for 53 yards in the victory. And the Raiders defeated the St. Louis Rams 20-10 in the preseason finale. Gus Frerotte went 10-for-18 for 108 yards and a touchdown, while Isaac Bruce caught four passes for 77 yards for the Rams.
