The Los Angeles Rams and Kansas City Chiefs are set to face on Monday night at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum last week after it was decided early last week that the field conditions at Estadio Azteca in Mexico City were not suitable for the game to be played.
Despite the decision to move the contest to Los Angeles, the Rams have continued to remain the favorite to win the contest with the line moving slightly more in their favor from 2.5 to 3.5 as Cameron DaSilva of Rams Wire has pointed out. Although the line has dropped down a little to 3.0 on BetOnline.AG with the Rams favored, it has remained clear that this is a close game to call.
It has typically been known that the home team in the contest will get three points as a default in any matchup for NFL games. What this signals more than anything else is that it is a pick'em between two of the league's best teams in what should be a highly entertaining contest. The Chiefs have more than held their own through the first 10 weeks of the season behind their explosive offense led by MVP candidate quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who has been producing at a historic pace that has already seen him set the franchise single-season record with 31 touchdown passes.

Meanwhile, the Rams have continued to look like a powerhouse in the NFL in the second year under head coach Sean McVay that has seen their offense be the driving force for the franchise. Pro Bowl quarterback Jared Goff has continued to take huge steps forward in his progression as a quarterback while running back Todd Gurley is putting together another MVP-caliber campaign.
All of this sets up what should be a thrilling game on Monday night that should see plenty of offensive fireworks on both sides of the ball in what could be a game with plenty of playoff implications on the line.
