Raiders vs. Rams Prediction: Odds, Expert Picks, QB Matchup, Injury Report, Betting Trends and Stats

One team is looking to attack without its top receiver, while the other is welcoming the return of its top pass-catcher. The Las Vegas Raiders (2-4) have passed DaVante Adams. The Los Angeles Rams (1-4) are ready to welcome Cooper Kupp back into the lineup with open arms. The Rams and Raiders meet on Sunday afternoon at SoFi Stadium in Southern California.

Few wideouts mean as much to their team as Cooper Kupp does to the Rams. The Super Bowl 56 MVP has been out since Week 2 with an ankle problem. His return should create more opportunities for the Rams’ other skill position players, including RB1 Kyren Williams, who is averaging 72 yards/gm in five games.

DaVante Adams is an outstanding talent who failed to play for the Raiders. Maybe rookie TE Brock Bowers will take over as the top receiver in Vegas. If not Bowers, then who? This team is extremely thin at the wide receiver position… and the quarterback position… and the running back position… and you get the idea.

Let’s dive into this battle between the Raiders and Rams and find some sweats.

NBC Sports Bet Best Bet

NBC sports betting analyst Brad Thomas (@MrBradThomas) likes to cover the home team:
“Welcome back… maybe Cooper Kupp. I’ll take the Rams -6.5 if Cooper Kupp plays. It just finally makes this offense dynamic. They have their pass catcher. Kyren Williams plays like the best running back in the league. The Raiders? Stinky, smelly, smelly. Not a good football team.”
