LA Rams vs Green Bay Packers Prediction 10-6-24 Picks

In this article, we will formulate an LA Rams vs Green Bay Packers Prediction for this NFL Week 5 game on Sunday, October 6th, at SoFi Stadium.

Rams Dealing with Injuries

Every team is dealing with injuries right now, but the Rams are dealing with more than most teams. Cooper Kupp is dealing with an ankle injury and he’s already been ruled out for this game. Tyler Higbee and Puka Nauca are both dealing with injuries and the injuries are really hurting the offense. The Rams sit with a 1-3 record overall and they are coming off a loss in the last game. The Rams scored 18 points against the Chicago Bears and they ended up losing by six points. Matthew Stafford played fine, but he couldn’t find the end zone. He completed 20 of his 29 passes for 224 yards, zero touchdowns, and one interception.

The Rams on the season, are averaging 18.8 points while their defense is giving up 28.8 points per game. The offense is ranked 22nd in the league while the defense is ranked 31st. Even with the lack of weapons, the Rams are going to need to find a way to get the offense going in this game.

How Do the Packers Bounce Back?

The final score of the last game might have been only a two-point loss against the Minnesota Vikings, but that was a game they were down 28-7. They scored some points in garbage time, and it came down to an onside kick, but especially in the first half, they looked awful. Jordan Love was clearly not 100 percent but he completed 32 of his 54 passes for 389 yards, four touchdowns, and three interceptions. He needs to stop the ill-advised throws. Jayden Reed had a big game finishing with seven catches for 139 yards and a touchdown. Christian Watson suffered an ankle injury and isn’t expected to play in this game.

The Packers on the season is averaging 26 points while their defense is giving up 22.3 points per game. The offense is ranked 6th in the league while the defense is ranked 20th. In this game, the offense is going to need to find more success early.

Why the Packers Will Beat the Rams

• The Packers have won eight of their last nine October games against NFC West opponents.
• The Rams have lost each of their last five games against NFC North opponents.
• The road team has covered the spread in seven of the Rams’ last eight Week 5 games.
• The Rams have failed to cover the spread in each of their last four Week 5 home games.
• The Rams have lost the first half in each of their last six games as underdogs.

LA Rams vs Green Bay Packers Prediction

This game might be at SoFi Stadium, but there are going to be plenty of Packers fans in the stand, and it might actually feel like a home game. Jordan Love is going to be healthier in this game and I don’t expect the Packers are going to get out to a slow start here. The Packers are going to have no issue running up the score, and Matthew Stafford isn’t going to lead the Rams to enough points. Back the Packers.
