They are 1-1 in their home games, 0-3 in their road games, and they are also 0-0 in their neutral site games this season, but they will be at home for this game.

The current betting odds have the Rams listed as a 6.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Rams have looked terrible in their games this season with their 1-4 record overall which has them at the bottom of the NFC West. They have been dealing with a lot of injuries this season with their offense lacking some of those weapons, but now they are starting to get healthier. 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 best way to place a bet here is on the Rams to cover the spread in this game.

“It was a great first drive for us to go down and get points and a touchdown. It was huge for momentum, but it takes 60 minutes.” - Aidan O’Connell after their loss against the Steelers in their last game. 

“I think we’ve got to be able to finish games and play consistently throughout. I mean, you look at it, we’re a 1-4 football team. Three of those four losses come down to one-possession games. ... But this is football, this is where we’re at.” - Sean McVay after his team’s loss against the Packers in their last game.
