Donald v. Mack. Donald is the superior player, doing more for his team as an interior lineman facing constant double teams than Mack does as an outside linebacker. And Mack is really, really good, Just not Donald good.

Cooper Kupp is good to go for Sunday, Sean McVay said. Sam Shields’ availability seems in question because of an illness. He might not fly with team today.
Rams-Saints betting line has been interesting. Vegas consensus started at Rams -1, then quickly swung to Saints -1.5, and now is back to Rams -1.

#Rams’ Todd Gurley has faced a loaded box (8+ defenders) on 17.2% of his carries through W8, the second-lowest percentage among qualifying RBs.
LAR’s offense has only called 63 plays against a loaded box, the second-lowest mark in the NFL.
Establish the pass to set up the run.
