Following a tough win over the Green Bay Packers to stay undefeated on the season, the Los Angeles Rams are set for another daunting challenge ahead in Week 9 on the road against the New Orleans Saints.
This is a matchup that features two of the top teams in the NFC going up against each with possibly many playoff implications on the line. With that in mind, there has been a sudden shift in the spread as BetOnline.ag has gone for the Rams being the two-point underdogs to the two-point favorite in the contest.
This sudden change in the line may come after two notable changes that are on the horizon for the franchise as head coach Sean McVay had indicated that second-year wide receiver Cooper Kupp looks to be on track to make his return to the lineup after missing last Sunday's game against the Packers. Kupp has been a major part of the offense that has seen an uptick in production this season as he has recorded 30 catches for 438 receiving yards and five touchdowns

Meanwhile, the Rams also made a possible major addition to their defensive line with the trade for Jacksonville Jaguars outside linebacker Dante Fowler, who could bring them the edge pass-rushing presence that the team has lacked this season. McVay has already indicated that the plan is to get Fowler on the field against the Saints. These two moves could be pivotal to providing the Rams that extra boost on both sides of the ball in this crucial game.
Los Angeles may be the slight favorites, but it shouldn't discount the juggernaut that New Orleans has become this year behind their explosive offense that could see this game becoming a shootout between these two teams. What this does more than anything else is setting the table even more so for what should be an entertaining Week 9 matchup.
