Packers vs. Rams Predictions For NFL Week 5, Sunday 10/6

As mentioned, both the Packers and Rams are coming off losses, both of which were by one possession. However, they came in far different styles. Green Bay found themselves in a massive 28-0 hole to the Minnesota Vikings but battled back before ultimately falling 31-29 in the end.

As for LA, they struck first against the Chicago Bears, but then never regained a lead in a 24-18 loss that, frankly, was one of the least exciting games of the Week 4 slate. Of course, teams aren’t concerned about excitement - they only care about winning. So, who will take this NFC clash?

The best bet from our Packers vs. Rams predictions will help answer that, but first, a bit more from each team.
 

 

 

Green Bay Packers: Love Was The Problem?

The headline here is a bit tongue-in-cheek, but the fact of the matter is that the Packers are 2-2. Their two losses? They had QB Jordan Love under center. Their two wins? Backup QB Malik Willis was under center.

Of course, we’re not suggesting that there is some sort of QB controversy, especially after the massive contract extension given to Love this offseason, but Green Bay does need to get a win under his belt. Facing a Rams team that is decimated by injury is certainly a solid prospect to do just that. 
 

 

 

Los Angeles Rams: Continuing To Battle Through Injuries

Mentioning the injuries in Southern California is the perfect transition to what is going on with the Rams. After WR Puka Nacua - who absolutely exploded onto the scene in his rookie season last year - went down in Week 1, shortly after, so too did fellow WR Cooper Kupp.

That duo won’t be on the field yet again, which is good news for a Packers defense that saw Vikings QB Sam Darnold light them up with three passing touchdowns last Sunday. So, the question becomes whether or not Rams QB Matthew Stafford can do the same. After all, his long time spent with the Detroit Lions as a division rival of the Cheeseheads means he’s familiar with the opponent at the very least.

Packers vs. Rams Predictions: Green Bay -3 (-118 at DraftKings Sportsbook)

We don’t often love targeting these point spreads on key numbers like this matchup, but we had Green Bay favored by more than a field goal. It’s also worth noting that other platforms have them as 3.5-point favorites, which is why we’re rolling with DraftKings.

As familiar as Stafford may be facing the Pack, he simply doesn’t have the weapons on the outside that he otherwise would. From his Calvin Johnson days to Kupp winning the Super Bowl MVP, he’s going to need a true threat for CB Jaire Alexander and company.

Speaking of Green Bay’s defense, that is where we’re starting to trust them more than in the past. The past few seasons, they had been awful against the run. So, they swapped defensive coordinators from Joe Berry to Jeff Hafley, and truthfully, Week 1 didn’t prove that they even made the change.

However, it has since looked much better, and now, they’re going to know that they can load the box quite often against Rams RB Kyren Williams. We’re not expecting them to hold him to fewer than 50 yards per say, but that is largely due to the volume that he should get.

Green Bay simply needs to carry over Love’s incredible second half from last Sunday into this one to help the best bet from our Packers vs. Rams predictions of Green Bay -3 (-118 at DraftKings Sportsbook) cash for you!
