Las Vegas Raiders at Los Angeles Rams Final Betting Prediction

The Rams’ biggest issue is that they don’t have a quarterback who can run Sean McVay’s intricate system. John Wolford tried against Seattle and it was a disaster.

Wolford threw a pair of interceptions and completed just 14-of-26. The Rams did rush for 177 yards against the Seahawks.

But the Raiders’ defense suffers against the pass, not the rush. Also, Josh Jacobs is unstoppable right now. Vegas’ RB1 averages 5.4 yards per carry and has rushed for a combined 482 yards and scored 3 touchdowns during the Raiders’ 3-game streak.

If the Rams try and stop JJ, Derek Carr will make Los Angeles pay. Anyway we look at this game, the Raiders are the team to back to cover the spread.
