The NFL continues to look to expand its International appeal, and 2016 features four International games. Three games are in London, and 1 in Mexico City. With such a short season, 'losing' a home game (and having to travel) is a very big deal, especially if your home game lost is in London. I always look 1st to the season win "UNDER" on the teams that get a home game taken away from them. Here is the summary of the international games:
10/2 Indy @ Jax (London)
10/23 Nyg @LA (London). Note, the Rams play @Det 10/23 the week before, all part of their 32,000 miles Odyssey of travel in 2016.
10/30 Wash@Cin (London).
Every NFL team gets a bye after their London game, which makes sense.
11/21 Hou @Oak (Mexico City).
Oakland plays no true road game in November, so this likely is no big deal, as this game sets up well with their November Schedule. What IS a big deal is all the travel the Rams have to do this year, not just to London, but also @Tb, @Det, @NYj, @No, @NE, and @Sea along with their trips to SanFran and Az.
Given all this, the ONLY way we can look for the Rams is UNDER 7.5 wins, even at very high vigorish.
How many games do YOU think the Rams win in 2016? Do you agree with my under sentiment?
On the MLB front, totals have been money all year, 20-3 run since June 1, and we move in BIG with a 3* release on a game today to fly over!
