Game Outlook
Fresh off a big win against the Chargers in Week 13, the Raiders travel to LA to take on the Rams to kick off Week 14’s slate. This game carries a middling 44.5-point total with the Raiders favored by six points against a Rams team that’s clearly waiving the white flag on the 2022 season.
Over the last month, the Raiders have run a relatively balanced offense, ranking 24th in Pass Rate over Expectation in that sample and 22nd in pass rate. As six point favorites, it certainly makes sense that the team will lean into Josh Jacobs as long as the game script allows. Over the last month, when they’ve had a lead of 7+ points, they’re running at a 63% clip.
