I got some new odds from BetOnline today for the 2019 Los Angeles Rams that give us a baseline for expectations with the regular season kicking off next week.
QB Jared Goff
Total Passing yards in the 2019 Regular Season
Over/Under: 4,300
Total TD Passes in the 2019 Regular Season
Over/Under: 30.5
Total Interceptions in the 2019 Regular Season
Over/Under: 10.5
Last year, Goff threw for 4,688 passing yards, 32 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. So they’re looking for a slight regression in all three areas. Nothing overwhelming though.
RB Todd Gurley
Total Rushing Yards in the 2019 Regular Season
Over/Under: 1,000
Total Receiving Yards in the 2019 Regular Season
Over/Under: 475
Total Rushing & Receiving TD’s in the 2019 Regular Season
Over/Under: 12
How many games will Gurley miss in the 2019 Regular Season?
Over/Under: 1.5
Last year, Gurley had 256 carries for 1,251 rushing yards, 59 receptions for 580 receiving yards and 21 combined touchdowns (17 rushing, four receiving) while missing the final two regular season games.
Clearly, they’re banking on a pretty severe reduction in snap counts to have that big of a drop in rushing yards and touchdowns.
WR Brandin Cooks
Total Receiving Yards in the 2019 Regular Season
Over/Under: 1,100
Total Receiving TD’s in the 2019 Regular Season
Over/Under: 6.5
Cooks’ 2019? A huge one. He had 80 catches for 1,204 receiving yards and 5 receiving touchdowns. Should be another big year for the Archer.
WR Cooper Kupp
Total Receiving yards in the 2019 Regular Season
Over/Under: 850
Total Receiving TD’s in the 2019 Regular Season
Over/Under: 5
Kupp’s 2018 was curtailed by an ACL injury, but he also missed Weeks 7 and 8 before coming back for two more games. Overall, he started in eight games and logged 40 catches for 566 receiving yards and six touchdowns.
WR Robert Woods
Total Receiving yards in the 2019 Regular Season
Over/Under: 950
Total Receiving TD’s in the 2019 Regular Season
Over/Under: 5
Bobby Trees comes in after posting 86 receptions for 1,219 receiving yards and six receiving touchdowns.
DL Aaron Donald
Total Sacks in the 2019 Regular Season
Over/Under: 13
This one stings a bit, but I’m not sure it’s unfair. Donald had 20.5 sacks last year, but teams are sure to be keen to assign more resources and gameplanning to come up with ways to lessen his impact.
LB Clay Matthews
Total Sacks in the 2019 Regular Season
Over/Under: 6.5
Matthews has averaged just 5.625 sacks over the last four seasons while hitting a career low in 2018 with 3.5. The hope here is that he’s given more pass rushing duties than he had the last few years in Green Bay.
CB Marcus Peters
Total Interceptions in the 2019 Regular Season
Over/Under: 3.5
Peters had three picks last year. I might take the over here with the idea being that a healthy spell along with more time with CB Aqib Talib could pay more dividends through the first half of the season than it did last year when both starting corners were hurt in Week 3 against the Los Angeles Chargers.
