Tale of the tape: Rams vs Giants

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. -- The Los Angeles Rams have to make sure they don’t get caught sleeping, with the 0-3 New York Giants coming to town.

Rams defensive lineman and co-captain Michael Brockers does not expect that to happen.

“We just going to take it out on the Giants,” Brockers said. “Not to say the Giants are not a good team, but we know what it takes to win games. We know what we have to do.”

While Brockers does not say the Giants are a bad team, odds makers are doing it for him, making the G-Man a 13-point underdog on the road against the Rams this weekend.

The Rams lead the all-time series 27-17, including postseason games. The Rams won the last time these two teams met, 51-17 at MetLife Stadium on Nov. 5, 2017.

Game time temperature is expected to be around 81 degrees and mostly sunny, so weather should to not be a factor under the translucent roof of SoFi Stadium.
