Rams vs Raiders Prediction
The current betting odds have the Rams listed as a 3.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Rams have looked terrible in their games this season with their 2-4 record overall which has them right at the bottom of the NFC West. They haven't been a great road team either with their 1-1 road record this year. Meanwhile, the Raiders haven't looked great in their games this season with their 3-3 record overall which has them right near the bottom of the AFC West. They haven't looked great on their home field either with their 1-2 home record this season. The Raiders had a really hot start to the season going 3-0, but now they have lost 3 games in a row and are starting to come back down to Earth. They are coming off a 33-30 loss to the Bills in their last one and they made that a tight game in the end, but they were always chasing that game and that has been a common theme for them lately. The Rams haven't looked any better as they were supposed to be this "super team" who were the Super Bowl favorites entering the year, but they just haven't looked good on both sides of the ball. They are coming off a terrible 18-16 loss to the Cardinals in their last one and they lost that game to a team that couldn't even score a TD. They really hit rock bottom in that game, but they will be looking to bounce back in this game with a much better performance. They have also had a really tough schedule to start the season, but now it is starting to get easier and this is a game that they absolutely have to win if they still want to be taken seriously as a Super Bowl contender. The best way to place a bet here is on the Rams to cover the spread in this game.

Notable Quotes
“There were some gutsy individual efforts that I am appreciative of, but collectively, even if we had come away with the result, it’s not good enough. There’s just so many things that aren’t in alignment with what we need to be able to do. We've got to figure it out, and it starts with me.” - Sean McVay after his team’s loss against the Cardinals in their last game.
“That’s unacceptable. And that starts with me.” - Klint Kubiak after his team’s loss against the Bills in their last game.
