Las Vegas Raiders at Los Angeles Rams: Predictions, picks and odds for NFL Week 7 game

October 16, 2024

Now without Davante Adams, the Las Vegas Raiders (2-4) head back to the familiar territory of Southern California to face the Los Angeles Rams (1-4).

After weeks of reported frustrations, the three-time All-Pro wide receiver Adams is finally out of Las Vegas, leaving the Raiders without a star player. It comes at a time with the offense really struggling and losses in three of the last four games. Can the Raiders get a complete fresh start?

The bye week couldn’t have come at a better time for the Rams who have played most of the season without its star receivers. There’s a chance Cooper Kupp could return this week, and that may be what Los Angeles needs to turn the season around.

Lorenzo Reyes: Rams 25, Raiders 10

The Rams are still a little banged up, but coming off a bye. The Raiders look as though they’re about to unravel. I don’t have any trust in an offense led by Aidan O’Connell, and one that suddenly lost its best target, even if Davante Adams was disgruntled.

Tyler Dragon: Rams 24, Raiders 20

There will be plenty of Raiders fans at SoFi Stadium to witness a Davante Adams-less Raiders team. Brock Bowers has become Las Vegas’ top pass-catching option. The Rams have lost two in a row but are eagerly anticipating the returns of Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua. Kupp will return first, but the Rams still have enough weapons to beat a struggling Raiders club that just traded away their best player.  

Richard Morin: Rams 23, Raiders 16

Despite the shape of the Los Angeles roster, it’s hard to see the Rams moving to 1-5 on the season. They’re in a better position than the Raiders, for sure.

Jordan Mendoza: Rams 22, Raiders 17

The Raiders are an absolute mess and don’t have much star power to get them past teams. The Rams are better than their record says, and they get the win even though SoFi Stadium will be taken over by the Raider fans.
