The matchup between the Saints and Rams on Sunday will feature two of the NFC’s best teams. Will the Saints keep up their impressive win streak?

The New Orleans Saints have become one of the most fun teams to watch in the NFL, and are easily the league’s hottest team in either conference at the moment. Now, they’ll try to keep their eight-game win streak up when they travel to the West Coast to play the Los Angeles Rams.

This one will be one of the bigger games in the Week 12 slate, and may be the game of the day with the Minnesota Vikings and Detroit Lions playing on Thursday, rather than Sunday. The Saints are marching right along in the 2017 campaign, and the Rams (minus their embarrassing loss last week to the Minnesota Vikings) are one of the better teams that the NFC has to offer to round it all out.

Both of these teams will boast solid offenses when Sunday’s game rolls around, and this one could go all sorts of directions when the two teams take the field in the late slate of games.

Odds: Rams -2.5, according to Odds Shark

Even with the Saints’ win streak lasting an entire half of the regular season, the Rams are favored in this game, albeit by less than a field goal. While I do believe this one will be settle by just one possession, and more than likely by just a field goal, I think the result will go to the visiting team in the end.

The Saints almost can’t be stopped right now, and I don’t see the Rams pulling out the win after the poor showing they put on against the Vikings last week. Momentum is key here, and I see the Saints traveling back home with a big win in Week 12.

Prediction: Saints 27, Rams 24
