The second-year back doesn&#8217;t carry an injury designation into this game but missed a good chunk of practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But even if Gibbs was at 100% I&#8217;d still like Montgomery to perform \u2014 after all he was dubbed running back &#8220;Frankenstein&#8221; for a reason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Iowa State product averaged 85.6 rushing yards per game across 17 regular season and playoff contests, clearing this line 13 times. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That includes Detroit&#8217;s wild-card victory over L.A. when he turned 14 carries into 57 yards and a touchdown. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He&#8217;s a bonafide bruiser who&#8217;s running behind PFF&#8217;s No. 1 ranked offensive line. It also helps the Rams have an Aaron Donald-sized hole to fill on the defensive line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Key stat:<\/strong> Montgomery averaged the seventh-most rushing yards per game last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Quick picks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Goff under 0.5 interceptions (-127):<\/strong> Why have one revenge game when you can have two?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"cacheembed:93894\">Embed: #93894<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Goff was surgical in the wild-card last season completing 22-of-27 passes for 277 yards and a touchdown without throwing an interception. That netted out to a 121.8 passer rating for the former Ram. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He went through all three playoff games without throwing a pick and only had 12 during 17 starts in the regular season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All in all, Goff cashed this wager in 60% of games which exceeds the 55.5% implied probability of this wager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Los Angeles didn&#8217;t have a ball-hawking secondary in its first season without Jalen Ramsey and had the ninth-fewest interceptions in 2023 (11). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Goff has turned into a poised pocket passer and I expect him to take care of the football against his old team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Picks made at 1:48 p.m. ET 09\/07\/2024.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Detroit Lions and Los Angeles Rams kick off their seasons on Sunday Night Football.
