Las Vegas Raiders (2-4 vs LA Rams (1-4) This is a good setup, as Los Angeles is coming off of a bye, as well as potentially getting Cooper Kupp (ankle) back in the mix. The Las Vegas Raiders continue to throw out an inexperienced quarterback, they're banged up and now just traded away Davante Adams. The Raiders are going nowhere fast, and I want little to do with them. They are also coming out of their bye week so they have had extra time to prepare for this game and also heal their banged-up players. Meanwhile, the Raiders have looked terrible in their games this season with their 2-4 record overall which has them at the bottom of the AFC West. They just traded away their star receiver, Davante Adams, and their offense hasn't looked that great anyway. They just gave up 32 points in their last game against a weaker Steelers offense and they aren't going to be able to stop this Rams offense at home with some players coming back to the lineup. The Rams aren't as bad as the way they have been playing lately and this is a great game for them to get right coming out of their bye week against one of the worst teams in the NFL. The Los Angeles Rams should be as healthy as they've been in a while, and they've had an extra week to prepare. The Ram's coaching staff is one you can trust most weeks, and an extra week magnifies the advantage. Furthermore, Vegas just traded star WR Davante Adams to the Jets, and they have a loaded injury report, including DE Maxx Crosby (ankle), LB Tommy Eichenberg (hamstring), RB Zamir White (groin), and WR Jakobi Meyers (ankle). Los Angeles is getting healthy, and they have a massive edge in both coaching and quarterbacking, so I’ll ride with them. I think this is a great buy-low spot on the Rams.

- Heading into Week 7, the Rams rank 1st in the NFL in Q4 win percentage (80.0) this season.
- Heading into Week 7, the Rams rank 31st in the NFL in Q1 points per game (1.2) this season.
- Heading into Week 7, the Raiders rank 1st in the NFL in average yards per punt (52.9) this season.
- Heading into Week 7, the Raiders rank 31st in the NFL in rushing yards per game (79.5) this season.
- This season, Las Vegas is bottom-10 in points allowed, placing 27th in the NFL with 163 points given up (27.2 per game). It also ranks 15th in total yards allowed (1,959).
- Against the run, the Raiders’ defense has sputtered this season, as it ranks 24th in the league with 842 rushing yards allowed (140.3 per game).
- The QB change didn’t really help the Raiders all that much, and I think this game boils down to what’s more broken? The Raiders? Or the Rams’ defense, and while both are broken, I think I can still trust the Rams to be able to come through offensively. The Rams at least have some idea of what they’re doing, and I think at home, they get it done....
