Rams vs. Patriots Odds & Betting Predictions - November 17, 2024

Drake Maye’s emergence has been a bright spot in what’s been a bleak season for the Patriots. Over the last four full games as a starter, having to compensate from the lack of offensive talent, Maye’s ability to extend plays and use his legs has been a trait not seen from a Patriots quarterback in generations. He’s averaging 43.8 rush yards/ game since taking over as the starter, and he leads all qualifying QBs in scrambles (21) and going back to his college days, had a 11.1% rate which was just underneath names like Hurts and Fields according to Jacob Gibbs of Fantasy Points. The Patriots' offensive line has been shuffling around players all season. And as a result, the Pats have allowed the fourth-highest sack percentage in the league, an intimidating stat now facing a Rams front-seven lead by Rookie DPOY candidate Jared Verse, Braden Fiske, and Kobie Turner. The LA Rams are generating pressure at the fifth-highest rate in the league and this should correlate with Drake Maye seeing increased scramble opportunities. According to Ryan Heathe of Fantasy Points, Maye’s scramble rate grows from 1.7% to 29.2% when pressured - a +47.5% boost in production. #PlayerProps
