LOS ANGELES – The Los Angeles Rams open as seven-point favorites over the New York Giants in Monday Night Football’s Week 2 matchup, laying the same number of points they managed on the scoreboard in their 27-7 Week 1 loss to the San Francisco 49ers.
A Spread That’s Barely Budged
Bovada has the Rams at -330 on the moneyline and -7 on the spread, with the Giants at +265 and +7. BetOnline’s board runs close behind, with Los Angeles at -335 and -114 on the spread and New York at +270 and -106.
| Team | Moneyline Odds | Spread |
|---|---|---|
| New York Giants | +265 | +7 (-110) |
| Los Angeles Rams | -330 | -7 (-110) |
Bovada’s number is among the wider prices posted across this week’s legal sports betting board, even before accounting for the Rams being shut out over the final three quarters in Week 1. On the moneyline, that price means risking $330 to win $100 on a Los Angeles win by any margin. Laying the seven at -110 asks for a cover of more than a touchdown, a tougher ask from an offense that produced one touchdown in 60 minutes last week.
BetOnline’s moneyline has not moved since it posted. Bovada’s has made a round trip, with the Rams California sports betting odds opening at -330, ticking to -340 and settling back at -330 while the Giants went from +265 to +270 and back.
The spread juice took the same path, from -110 each way to -115 on Los Angeles and -105 on New York and back to -110 each way. Anyone who grabbed the Giants during that brief -340 window holds the best of it, and the number on the board now is the one Bovada started with.
The Total Has Moved More
The total has slid further than either side. BetOnline listed the game at 49.5 when its board opened, brought it to 49, then to 48.5, and now sits at 48, matching Bovada, whose number has held at 48 since it posted. A point and a half of give on a game between two teams that combined to score 35 points last week is a real move, and it lines up with the Rams’ scoreless final three quarters. Bettors who liked the under caught the best number at NFL betting sites early in the week. Anyone taking it now is buying in after most of that drop already happened.
Two Very Different Week 1s
The Rams’ punchless opener came in the NFL’s first regular-season game in Australia. San Francisco held Los Angeles scoreless across the final three quarters at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, where Stafford finished 15 of 25 for 155 yards with an interception, was stopped trying to run it in on fourth-and-goal from the 1, and watched tight end Tyler Higbee lose a fumble that set up a 49ers field goal.
New York’s opener went the other way. The Giants beat Dallas 28-20 behind Dart’s 230 passing yards, three touchdown throws, zero interceptions and 54 yards on the ground. Two of those scoring throws went to Isaiah Likely, whose eight receptions and 78 yards led every receiver on the field, and Cam Skattebo supplied the rushing score on an 18-carry, 81-yard afternoon.
Extra Time To Regroup
Los Angeles also gets more time than most Week 2 teams to fix what went wrong. The Rams’ opener fell 11 days before Monday’s kickoff, four days longer than the standard week between games, giving the offense extra practice time to sort out the problems that produced one scoring drive in Melbourne.
The game puts both squads back in primetime on Monday Night Football, kicking off at 8:15 p.m. ET at SoFi Stadium to close out the NFL’s Week 2 schedule.
