Packers Rams Quick Preview

Green Bay Packers @ St. Louis Rams NFL Odds Makers: Current Line: Packers -6.5 What’s On The Line: The Green Bay Packers had an impressive win in Week 1 against the Chicago Bears and then quickly let the balloon deflate in Week 2 after losing at home to the Cincinnati Bengals.
