Las Vegas Raiders - NFL Betting Analysis
The Raiders head into week 14 looking for another win, as they picked up 7 point victory over the Los Angeles Chargers (27-20). Besides winning straight up, the Raiders also came away with an ATS win as the -2.5 point favorites. Together, the two teams combined score remained below the over-under betting line of 49. On their way to picking up a 7-point win, Las Vegas held a 11-point lead heading into the 4th quarter at 24-13. Through 12 games, the Raiders have an ATS record of 6-6. So far, they have an over-under record of 6-5-1. This week's betting total of 44.5 is slightly lower than the line in their previous games.
Heading into this week's matchup, the Raiders offense is averaging 24.3 points per game, placing them 9th in the NFL. Look for the team to put together another strong offensive performance, as they are facing a Rams defense ranked 19th in points per game. Throughout the game, Las Vegas should be able to move the ball through the air, as they are the 22nd-ranked team in terms of passing yards. A key matchup to watch through the game is if Las Vegas will be able to run the ball with their usual effectiveness. Even though they are averaging 125.4 yards per game on the ground, the strength of their Rams defense has been their ability to stop the run.
Los Angeles Rams - NFL Betting Analysis
Last week, the Rams lost in a divisional matchup against Seattle Seahawks by a score of 27-23. Even though the Rams lost the game, they managed to cover the spread as 6.5-point underdogs. The teams combined for a total of 50 points, which surpassed the over-under betting line of 41. The Rams were not able to make a comeback in last week's game, as they trailed Seattle by a score of 17-13 heading into the final quarter. Through 12 games, the Rams have an ATS record of 4-7-1. So far, they have an over-under record of 5-7. This week's betting total of 44.5 is right in line with their previous games.
Heading into this week's matchup, the Rams offense is averaging 16.75 points per game, placing them 29th in the NFL. Look for the team to put together a strong offensive performance vs a Raiders defense giving up 29.6 points per game. Although the Rams come into the game ranked just 25th in pass yards per game, they will benefit from facing a Las Vegas secondary that is vulnerable through the air. We expect Los Angeles to have an above-average performance in the passing attack. On the ground, the Rams are just 28th in rush attempts per contest and are averaging 87.3 yards per game.
