What to Know

New Orleans will take on the Rams on the road at 4:25 p.m. ET on Sunday at Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. The teams split their matchups last year, with New Orleans winning the first 45-35 at home on the road and the Rams taking the second 26-23.

The Saints gave their fans exactly what they wanted out of a home opener last week. They narrowly escaped with a victory as the team sidled past Houston 30-28. Among those leading the charge for New Orleans was RB Alvin Kamara, who picked up 97 yards on the ground on 13 carries and caught 7 passes for 72 yards.

Meanwhile, the Rams had to kick off their season on the road, but they showed no ill effects. They came out on top in a nail-biter against Carolina, sneaking past 30-27. Kudos to the oddsmakers for accurately forecasting both the winner and the close margin.

Their wins lifted both teams to an identical 1-0. A couple last-season offensive numbers to keep in mind before kickoff: New Orleans was the best in rushing touchdowns, finishing the 2018 season with 26. The Rams displayed some offensive firepower of their own as they ranked second in the NFL in overall touchdowns, closing the year with 55 overall. We'll find out if either of these strengths ends up making the difference in the contest.
