Rams vs Ravens Prediction
The current betting odds have the Rams listed as a 7.5 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Rams haven't looked great this season with their 6-6 record overall but they have looked a lot better in their games lately as they have clawed their way back to .500 on the season. They have been playing a lot better lately as their offense has been getting healthier and now they are going to have some momentum behind them after their win last week since they are right back in the Wild Card race. Meanwhile, the Ravens have looked really good this season with their 9-3 record overall and they have been looking like the best team in the AFC lately. They have one of the best defenses in the NFL along with one of the best offenses too, but the Rams also have a really good offense that can keep this game closer with everyone getting healthy now. The Rams are going to be fighting the rest of the season to keep their playoff hopes alive and even though the Ravens are coming out of their bye week here, they still haven't looked as good in their last 3 games. The Ravens are the better team and will win this game at home but the Rams are not going to quit in this game and will be fighting to the very end to try and win it. The best way to place a bet here is on the Rams to cover the spread in this game.
