NFL Playoff Free Pick: Take the under. According to latest NFL trends, the Rams are 3-12 ATS, 1-7 ATS away, 3-10 ATS as the underdog, 1-7 ATS as an away underdog and are 1-6 ATS in Week 1. The Colts are 5-1 Over in Week 1 and are 3-10 ATS in Week 1. The Rams are coming off a terrible season but the future is bright under new head coach Jeff Fisher. They traded their second pick of the draft to move down and take LSU DT Michael Brockers. They also acquired multiple first and second rounders from Washington. Rookie QB Andrew Luck takes over for Peyton Manning. Very big shoes to fill. Luck has some of the same attributes Manning did have and he's a much better athlete. After Luck, there's Drew Stanton and rookie Chandler Harnish so the rookie doesn't have anybody to threaten him. But they also won't score much in preseason after the first quarter (maybe Game 3). Neither team is an offensive juggernaut.
