The last time the Rams won the NFC West, their team was led by the likes of Marc Bulger, Marshall Faulk and Adam Archuleta. However, with a win this Sunday against the Tennessee Titans, the Rams will officially claim the division crown for the first time since Finding Nemo was in theaters.
- The Titans are 5-14 ATS in their last 19 games as underdog.
- The Rams are 7-2 SU and ATS in their last 9 games.
- The Titans are 8-2 SU and ATS in their last 10 games after a loss.
