Exciting Showdown: Monday Night Football Predictions and Picks for Rams vs Falcons

Rams vs. Falcons Predictions: Los Angeles aims to make a statement on Monday Night Football following a surprising collapse in Week 16. The Falcons, having been eliminated from playoff contention, are coming off two consecutive victories and are determined to put on a strong performance.

Heading into this crucial game, Los Angeles is favored by 7.5 points on the road, with a total set at 49, despite doubts surrounding Davante Adams’ participation.

Among my NFL picks for December 29, L.A. tight end Colby Parkinson stands out. Be sure to catch the kickoff at 8:15 p.m. ET on ESPN.

Predicted Outcome

Best Bet for Rams vs. Falcons: Colby Parkinson Over 33.5 receiving yards (-110)

The Los Angeles Rams have increasingly relied on their tight ends, especially with the uncertainty surrounding Davante Adams. His injury means he likely won’t play Monday night.

In recent games, coach Sean McVay has utilized three-tight-end formations extensively, evident from last week’s game where tight ends saw significant action. Colby Parkinson, along with his teammates, could see a high volume of targets, making him a formidable choice from a betting perspective. Recently quiet, his projected performance shows a potential for more than 4.5 catches and 47 receiving yards, positioning him well for this indoor game.

Same Game Parlay for Rams vs. Falcons

Backing any of the Rams’ tight ends at their current prop lines is a solid strategy due to their expected snap shares. As injuries have pushed tight end usage higher, McVay’s specific strategies with tight ends will likely dominate gameplay.

• Colby Parkinson Over 3.5 receptions
• Davis Allen Over 1.5 receptions
• Terrance Ferguson Over 1.5 receptions

Enhanced Same Game Parlay

I’m adding a Parkinson touchdown to my selections and predicting overs on all three tight ends’ yardage stats. Parkinson has been a popular pick for scoring, registering six touchdowns in his last six games, and I expect him to find the end zone again, especially with Adams likely out.

• Colby Parkinson anytime touchdown
• Colby Parkinson Over 33.5 receiving yards
• Terrance Ferguson Over 24.5 receiving yards
• Davis Allen Over 18.5 receiving yards

Current Odds for Rams vs. Falcons

• Spread: Rams -7.5 (+100) | Falcons +7.5 (-120)
• Moneyline: Rams -350 | Falcons +275
• Over/Under: Over 49 (-110) | Under 49 (-110)

Game Predictions

Moneyline Expectations

The Rams could wrap up some ML parlays this week against an Atlanta team struggling at home. With solid odds for a Rams victory, it’s wise to bet on their experienced coach and quarterback in a crucial game.

Spread Outlook

The spread opened at 7.5 and has fluctuated slightly, but the Rams have demonstrated strong performance and are covering spreads effectively on the road.

Over/Under Analysis

I prefer the Rams’ team total to the full-game total. While the Falcons have recently shown capability in passing, the lack of depth in their receiving corps could make scoring challenging.

Key Betting Trend

The Rams have been outstanding against the spread in their recent road games. For more statistical insights, check the NFL betting trends related to the Rams vs. Falcons matchup.
