The Los Angeles Rams and the New York Jets meet Sunday in NFL action from MetLife Stadium. Here’s a NY Jets vs LA Rams Prediction. We will look at this from a betting perspective and determine the best Jets vs Rams pick.
Los Angeles Rams Betting Preview
The Rams’ year kicked off on a spotty 1-4 run. Since the bye week however, Los Angeles has beaten the Raiders, Vikings, Seahawks, Patriots, Saints, Bills, and 49ers during a much-improved 7-2 stretch for an 8-6 overall record this year.
Last Thursday versus the 49ers, the Rams were down 6-3 going into the final quarter. Los Angeles mustered nine more points in a 12-6 win. Matthew Stafford threw for 160 yards, and Karen Williams carried 29 times for 108 yards. Lead receiver Puka Nacua had seven catches for 97 yards.
New York Jets Betting Preview
Over on the Jets’ side, it’s been yet another lost season. After a 2-1 start, New York lost to the Broncos, Vikings, Bills, Patriots, Steelers, Cardinals, Colts, Seahawks, and Dolphins in an ugly 1-9 stretch. The Jets finally got another win last weekend.
Matched up against the struggling Jaguars on Sunday, the Jets were down 13-7 by the break. New York hit a 25-12 run from there and won it 32-25, though. Aaron Rodgers had 289 yards and three scores while leading the rush on 45 yards. Davante Adams added nine catches for 198 yards and two scores.

NY Jets vs LA Rams Prediction
I’ll stay with the Rams. LA had a defensive struggle against a middling 49ers team last Thursday, but to their credit, the Rams pulled off the victory. Los Angeles mustered just 14 first downs and 160 passing yards (302 total) in the win. The defense was great on 191 yards and 11 first downs allowed, though. The Rams’ scoring hasn’t been great lately; they’ve been below 22 points in three of the last four. The good news however is: they’re playing the Jets this week.
Speaking of the Jets, they needed a second-half rally to get past a struggling Jaguars team (without their starting QB) last weekend. New York notched 400 yards and 22 first downs in that one, and the good news is that they’ve now hit 21 or more points in four straight games. The Jets’ defense has given up 25 or more points in five straight, however, so the Rams should have plenty of room to move down the field in this one.
