The Raiders are quite thin at wide receiver at the moment. They traded away Davante Adams and are likely to be without Jakobi Meyers as well as he is officially Doubtful for the game with an ankle injury.

Our prediction uses a team strength comparison algorithm, which includes multiple factors such as strength of wins and scoring margin. The Rams score 8.4 fewer points per game (18.8) than the Raiders allow (27.2). Los Angeles racks up 324 yards per game, only 2.5 fewer than the 326.5 Las Vegas allows per outing.

The Rams are heavily favored in this matchup, but they’re not a good enough team to warrant a bet at -350 odds. The Raiders upset the Ravens in Week 2, and while that’s not expected to happen again this week, the Rams haven’t played enough consistent football this season to feel good about laying that number.
