Rams vs Ravens Prediction
The current betting odds have the Rams listed as a 7.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Rams have looked good in their games this season with their 3-2 record overall which has them right in the NFC West race early on. They are off a bad loss in OT to the 49ers in their last one, losing that game at home to a 49ers team that was missing a large number of starters, but they will be looking to bounce back. They played that game on Thursday so they have had a few extra days to get right and they are catching a big break with their opponent missing some key starters. Meanwhile, the Ravens have looked terrible in their games this season with their 1-4 record overall which has them right near the bottom of the AFC North. Their defense has been a disaster all season and now they are missing some key starters on defense which isn't going to help their situation. They are also missing their starting QB Lamar Jackson and they were terrible in their last game without him. The Ravens are off a 44-10 loss at home to the Texans in their last one and they couldn't do anything on offense in that one. Cooper Rush looked terrible and they have struggled to run the ball this year with Derrick Henry too. Nothing is going right for this Ravens team right now and the Rams aren't going to let another banged up opponent trip them up here. The best way to place a bet here is on the Rams to cover the spread in this game.
