St. Louis Rams
The St. Louis Rams have upset a couple of teams in the Seattle Seahawks and the Arizona Cardinals, but pulling off a win against a seemingly unbeatable 4-0 Green Bay Packers team at Lambeau Field is not likely.
At 18.5 points per game, St. Louis is simply not scoring enough points. Meanwhile the Packers offense has posted an average of 28.3 points. Furthermore, they have scored a combined 65 points in their two home games.
Aaron Rodgers hasn’t thrown an interception at Lambeau in almost three years, and the Rams won’t be able to contend with the reigning league MVP.

The Rams defense has allowed 235.3 passing yards per game, which could limit Rodgers just a bit. However, opposing quarterbacks are also completing an average of 75.7 percent of their passes, which is the second-worst mark in the league. To date, Rodgers is completing 72.4 percent of his passes and has already scored 11 touchdowns.
As for the St. Louis offense, quarterback Nick Foles and the Rams receivers draw no comparison to Rodgers and his weapons. Although Todd Gurley could beat up Green Bay’s rush defense that currently ranks 22nd in the NFL and has allowed opposing running backs 4.8 yards per attempt, the Packers did limit Marshawn Lynch to 41 yards.
Overall, the Packers at home against an inconsistent 2-2 Rams unit spells doom for St. Louis.
