Rams haven't been favored by this many points on the road in 12 years

The Rams rose one spot to No. 6 in this week's power rankings, while the Giants stayed at 29 Los Angeles and the Giants both had Week 8 off, so there wasn't expected to be much movement The Rams are 5-2 and tied for first in the NFC West, while New York is 1-6 and last in its division The Giants will host the Rams on Sunday at 1 p.m. ET at MetLife Stadium
When the betting line for the Los Angeles Rams’ Week 9 game opened, it didn’t seem like much. It was just 3.5 points – no big deal. However, that line has since moved to four points, which makes the line far more notable.
It’s the first time the Rams have been favored by four or more points on the road since Week 1 of 2005 when they were 4.5-point favorites over the 49ers. Since then, they’ve been 3.5-point favorites three times with the most recent game coming in Week 17 of the 2015 season.
All things considered, it’s pretty shocking that the Rams haven’t been favored by this many points on the road in more than a decade. We all know the Rams haven’t been good in a long, long time, but being favored by fewer than four points in every single road game since 2006 is shocking.
Going back to that 2005 game where they were 4.5-point favorites over the 49ers, the Rams actually lost that one. San Francisco knocked off St. Louis by a score of 28-25 despite only putting up 217 yards of total offense compared to the Rams’ 405.
Marc Bulger threw for 362 yards and two touchdowns, but his comeback wasn’t enough to overcome a 28-9 deficit in the second half.
