Arizona got an OT win over the 49ers. But with the roulette game going on over there at QB who knows what Sunday will bring. I have to say that in his one start John Navarre looks better than McCown. Rams have to win so even with a ATS of 3-9-1, at -1.5 wager already on the Rams

Rode the coattails of the Colts covering by landslides, those days may be over. Baltimore puts up a great D, but can they stop the passing of Manning and crew. Very close inspection of this match-up is warranted.
