Last night on Superstream 56, an annual show that gathers some of the sharpest minds of the betting industry, one thing was clear: the Under 48.5 and the Rams on the moneyline was a consensus play.
If you’re going to be tailing these picks, the most important thing you can do is to ensure you’re betting at the best price. Pro bettors will always shop around to ensure they’re betting the Rams at closer to -185 instead of -200. The tool below shows you the best odds from betting sites in your region:
