Rams Look For Fourth Straight Win
Last week, the Los Angeles Rams secured an upset win over the San Francisco 49ers on Thursday Night Football. Despite NFL betting sites listing the Rams as three-point underdogs, the defense of Los Angeles held the Niners to just six points. Now, the Rams will look for a fourth win in a row by beating the Jets, one that would be huge for their NFC West championship aspirations.
The Rams have shown they can win both with their offense and with their defense of late. They won a shootout against the Buffalo Bills at home two games ago, before bending the Niners to their will with their defense in Week 15. But the Rams will need to perform well on both sides of the ball if they want to extend their winning streak here.
Can the Jets Get a Second Straight Victory?
The New York Jets got a win in Week 15 of the NFL season, beating the Jacksonville Jaguars in a thrilling 32-25 contest. Davante Adams became the story of that game, catching nine passes for 198 yards and two touchdowns, with one of those touchdowns being his 100th career touchdown reception. This week, Adams and Aaron Rodgers will need to be on the same page again for the Jets to get a second straight win.
Also important for the Jets this week will be their secondary, as they need to shut down both Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua. That has not been an easy task for any secondary, as Nacua had a nice game last week even if Kupp was held without a catch. If the secondary of the Jets can slow both down, the Jets could deal the Rams a crucial blow in the race for the postseason.
Rams vs Jets Prediction
Our best bet for Rams vs Jets is for the under to cash at 45.5 points. Both teams have been performing well offensively of late, especially through their passing games. We expect that to continue and for the game to end with somewhere in the neighborhood of 50 points in what should be an entertaining affair in a venue that has lacked those thanks to the Giants and Jets playing there.
