Courtesy of the Seattle Seahawks’ Sunday Night Football loss, the Los Angeles Rams hold the lead in the NFC West. They’ll look to maintain their division lead across the country this Sunday as they take on the New York Jets. It may be far from a Super Bowl preview, but we’ve still got you covered with our Rams vs. Jets predictions.

That also means a best bet from our Rams vs. Jets picks, which will be made all the more exciting alongside the $1,500 BetMGM Sportsbook sign up bonus that we’ve also provided you with!

 

 

 

Rams vs. Jets Predictions For NFL Week 16, Sunday 12/22

Speaking of the Seahawks’ loss in prime time, the Rams won in prime time last week. It was over a full week ago, as they took down the division-rival San Francisco 49ers on Thursday Night Football. It was about as sloppy of a game as you could ask for, but that’s the type of football the Jets have been playing all season.

They did get the win this past Sunday, but it was a rough first half for them, and it was also a comeback, one-score victory over a then fellow 3-10 Jacksonville Jaguars team. With that in mind, seeing the Rams vs. Jets odds having LA as clear road favorites is par for the course. 

That spot has displayed a significant trend for sports bettors this season, which means it certainly plays a role in us determining where to lock in the best bet from our Rams vs. Jets predictions!
 

 

 

Los Angeles Rams: Rolling Into…The Playoffs?

Despite the 49ers being not only the clear favorites to win the NFC West, but the entire NFC, prior to the season, the Rams have been rolling right along in their quest to get back to the Super Bowl. Let’s not forget that they are just a few seasons removed from winning the Lombardi Trophy.

While they now have the NFC West lead, the entire division is within two games of one another. So, the Rams need to take advantage of their remaining schedule. LA plays the 4-10 Jets this week, followed by a Seahawks team they’ve already beaten and the Arizona Cardinals, which very well may decide a division title and/or playoff berth!
 

 

 

New York Jets: To Trust Or Not To Trust?

The Jets have known that they won’t be featured in the postseason for a little while now, and with how dysfunctional things have been this season, there was little reason to trust them to have any motivation. Then, we saw them fight back from a halftime deficit to beat the Jags this past Sunday.

Following that, we hear QB Aaron Rodgers talk about his Netflix special, who should win MVP and basically everything not regarding how he’s going to help his team win. All of that creates a situation where it feels quite difficult to determine if we can trust them or not. Thankfully for making a best bet from our Rams vs. Jets predictions, LA helps make the decision.
 

 

 

Rams vs. Jets Odds, Spreads, Total & Betting Lines

We mentioned the Rams vs. Jets odds already as some foreshadowing to the best bet from our Rams vs. Jets predictions, and you can see the latest lines at BetMGM Sportsbook here:

 

 

Rams vs. Jets Predictions: Los Angeles -3.5 (-105 at BetMGM Sportsbook)

With New York being at home and getting 3.5 points - just over the key number of a field goal, it’s as if oddsmakers are begging you to support them with your Rams vs. Jets predictions. However, we’re not taking the bait.

Instead, we’re going to focus on a trend that we’ve been seeing all season long - road favorites. Teams in that spot have been the most successful for bettors in terms of covering the spread, as they’re doing so at a rate of better than 56%! Let’s also not deny that the Rams are more than used to this spot, as LA has proven to provide little to no home field advantage.

In fact, it often feels like a road game against teams with fanbases that travel well, so right off the bat, that isn’t a concern for us. We also have the Rams on a full 10 days of rest thanks to their recent win coming on Thursday Night Football. Although the Jets are coming off a victory themselves, how impressed should we be?

Not only did it come against the 3-11 Jacksonville Jaguars, but they were losing for most of that game, even with a backup QB under center. The Rams are a far different beast with a great balance of outside weapons and a stud WR in Kyren Williams. The latter is who we’re expecting to beat up on the Jets defense.

They can be exploited on the ground, and with LA having fed Williams 29 carries in back-to-back games, they aren’t afraid to beat teams on his back. We’re going to back their three-game win streak and lock in the best bet from our Rams vs. Jets predictions on LA -3.5 (-105 at BetMGM Sportsbook).
