Green Bay Packers vs Los Angeles Rams Prediction & Picks - NFL

Prediction published on 10/4/24, 4:25 PM  by Travis Pulver | Modified on 10/5/24 at 1:01 PM in NFL Picks

When the Green Bay Packers travel out to California to take on the Los Angeles Rams Sunday at 1 p.m. ET in SoFi Stadium, it will not be just any ole game. No, it will be the 100th meeting in the all-time series between these two teams. Green Bay currently holds the lead in the series 50-47-2.

The Rams opened as 1.5-point favorites, but the line has since taken a dramatic shift, and the Packers are +3. It is not hard to understand why. Los Angeles is a shell of a team with several vital players out with injuries. The offense is barely generating 300 yards and is averaging 18.8 points per game— and the defense is not helping. The Rams have the worst run defense in the league and are second to last in total yards and points allowed per game.

Green Bay is certainly equipped to exploit that weakness. They come into the game with the second-best rushing attack in the country. However, as good as Jordan Love and the passing game have been when called upon, Love has thrown four interceptions in his two starts.

The last thing you want to give a Matthew Stafford-led offense is a second chance at life with a short field.
