The Rams were certainly anything but tough in their 37-7 mauling on this field last week by the Ravens. And if it proves to be a precursor of events to follow, St. Louis fans will be pleased to learn the last time Steve Spagnuolo’s team suffered a home loss in similar fashion (in his rookie season in 2009), they went on to down the Lions straight-up as 3.5-point dogs the following week. Considering the fact that NFL home teams playing off a 24-point or worse home loss have shown a strong propensity for bouncing back with a vengeance in the past (30-15 ATS when hosting a.500 or greater opponent), we are forced to stay at home with Louie here today. It’s not as hard as it looks, considering the Skins are just 4-14-1 ATS as a pick or favorite in games versus sub .600 opponents after dueling with Dallas. The draining manner in which Washington fell to the Cowboys only enhances our chances. Now, grab the clothes pin and apply until the smell of last week’s lambasting is gone. The current betting line at Bodog sportsbook is the Redskins 3-point favorites versus the Rams, and the game's total is sitting at 43½. Washington most recently: St. Louis most recently:
