NFL Thursday Night Football Week 14 Odds, Picks & Predictions: Raiders vs. Rams

On the surface, Thursday Night Football features a less-than-stellar matchup against two teams that aren’t likely to be in the postseason. However, the Raiders have been surging of lately. The run game, featuring Josh Jacobs has really taken off in this three-game win streak. This, coupled with decimating injuries all over the Rams’ roster, is why the line for this game is so long. Perhaps it’s too long.

Even with the injuries, the Rams have continued to stop the run on defense, ranking fifth in run defense DVOA. If they can slow Jacobs down and force Carr to make plays, they can keep themselves in this game.

On offense, the Rams could start Baker Mayfield, and though he’s had his rough moments the last two years, perhaps a change of scenery with different expectations could do him wonders. Against a Raider defense that is one of the worst in the league by most metrics he could be enough to keep the Rams in this one.

Rams +6.5, u43.5
