As this game has the potential to be an interesting game, the Los Angeles Rams will be taking on the Las Vegas Raiders on Thursday night football on Amazon prime, With the Rams making a claim on Baker Mayfield earlier in the week we could see Baker start the game as the Rams are very slim at quarterback and Baker having almost a full week of prep. Let’s go through my X-factor for each of these teams, and give my overall prediction.
For the Rams, my biggest X-factor is Jalen Ramsey. If Jalen Ramsey can shut down Davante Adams then the Rams have a chance to win this game but if Ramsey continues to get cocked like he has been then this game can get out of hand very quickly. With the Rams being so injury riddled on both sides of the ball Los Angeles doesn’t have their best player in Aaron Donald and will look to lean on linebacker Bobby Wagner and corner Jalen Ramsey.
For the Raiders, their biggest X-factor is the defensive line. If the Raiders can control the line of scrimmage on defense, they can easily win this game as Baker Mayfield was one of the worst quarterbacks while being pressured, and with a lack of weapons on the Rams offense, this raiders defense can really make some noise on Thursday night.
Overall, my prediction is the Las Vegas Raiders coming out with the win and handling the Rams with a final score of 27-17. With a Las Vegas team playing well in the last couple weeks I think they have the momentum to continue their win streak, and hand the Rams another loss.
