LA Rams vs Indianapolis Colts Predictions, Odds, Picks - September 19th, 2021 | NFL 2021-22 season
QB Matthew Stafford's first game with the LA Rams seemed to go perfectly with a win over the Chicago Bears. QB Carson Wentz was healthy to play in Week 1 for the Indianapolis Colts but the Seattle Seahawks were too much with QB Russell Wilson throwing four TDs.
The Rams and Colts both have new QBs under center and they seem to be an upgrade over their previous ones. Stafford and his offense seem to be off to a hot start, but the Colts have weapons on both sides of the ball to remain in the fight.

LA Rams at Indianapolis Colts Betting Odds
Welcome to the #Rams offense: Matthew Stafford with a 67-yard BOMB to Van Jefferson for the TD.
Fireworks! https://t.co/qaow2aSIt2
The LA Rams enter the game as the favorites by 3.5 points. Given how well the entire roster played in Week 1, it would have been surprising to see them at -6.5 points. However, the Indianapolis Colts got a rough hand against Seattle and will look to bounce back with an intact defense.
The over/under for the game is at 48.5. The Rams posted 34 points in Week 1 and the Colts had 16. LA can put up at least 30 again and Indy should perform better.

The Rams seem like a safe bet (-3.5 points at -110). At 48.5 points, take the over as both teams should try to start off fast on offense. A good prop bet for the game is betting on the first drive of the game to end up with a field goal attempt (+410). It's a good bet if the Rams get the ball first, but the Colts should still be able to at least get downfield far enough to attempt one.

Per Coach Reich, T Braden Smith and CB Xavier Rhodes are OUT for #LARvsIND.

WRs Michael Pittman (ankle) and Parris Campbell (abdomen) are questionable, but were only limited on Friday. LB Darius Leonard missed several practices with an illness, but should be good to go.

Matthew Stafford will play a defense without their star DB and with their promising rookie DE out as well. Based on his Week 1 performance, his offense should play flawlessly again through the air.
Carson Wentz, on the other hand, is playing a stout defense and will have to be smart and creative to keep the Colts in the game. It's not impossible, but he'll have to play some of his best football.
Prediction - The Los Angeles Rams win in an effort led by WR Van Jefferson, who had over 100 yards receiving with a TD and another 20+ yards rushing with a score of 23-17.
