THE INSIDERS ROOM'S 10* THURSDAY NIGHT 'A$$A$$IN!'
(NFL) New England vs. LA Rams,
Point Spread: 5.00 | -107.00 New England (Away)
Result: Loss
This is a 10* A$$A$$IN on the New England Patriots.

If you've watched me on LIVE CAP for Picks and Parlays, then you already know that I really like the Patriots.

And now I'm making it official, as I think these teams are very evenly matched. Cam Newton hasn't been great this season, but he's taken on the difficult task of trying to fill the void left by Tom Brady and he's continuing to fight hard. The Pats hammered the Chargers 45-0 last weekend, and Newton only had 69 yards passing. That's not great, but the running game had 180 yards.

New England is also getting unreal special teams play.

The Rams are hungry for a victory too as they look to keep hold of the top spot in the NFC West. Last week LA smashed the Cardinals 38-28. Can LA keep its focus here though vs. this lowly non-conference opponent?

New England plays with the advantage that it hasn't had to leave the state and I think that definitely matters as well.

The outright is possible, but in the end let's grab the points!

Good luck, NP
