Raiders vs Rams Prediction
I have no idea what to expect from this game. On one hand, I want to lay the small number with the Rams because they’re better than what they’ve shown, and I just assume they’ll get it together. The Rams were comfortable favorites to win the Super Bowl before the season. On the other hand, the Rams haven’t looked the part, while the Raiders continue to compete and have overachieved despite a bad defense. I guess this is me grabbing the points with the Raiders simply because they’ve been the more consistent team up to this point. Nothing would surprise me in this spot, though. It’s still Raiders or pass.
