Predictions and Betting Preview for Los Angeles Rams NFL Week 10 2022
Moneyline (+130 from BetMGM)
The Rams are the slight favorites for this game. This will be the second meeting between the two franchises this campaign, Los Angeles coming out on top in the first meeting. However, their starting quarterback, Matthew Stafford, may miss the game due to currently being under concussion protocol, which could change the outlook for this bet.
Spread (-1.5 from BetMGM)
The -1.5 spread assigned by sportsbooks will bring back bad memories for bettors, as the Los Angeles Rams had this same spread a couple of weeks ago for a game they also played at home and which they eventually lost 31-14 against the San Francisco 49ers.
In fact, in this regard, the Rams have been one of the least reliable teams in the league, covering their spread in only two of their eight games so far. Interestingly enough, one of those occasions was precisely against the Cardinals.
Over/Under (40.5 from BetMGM)
Despite having big names in the team, the Rams offense just doesn’t work. The team has failed to surpass 15 points in four of its last five games, and the only time it did so was against the Panthers, one of the worst teams in the league.
The Rams are the fourth worst team in the NFL in average total yards rushed per game, at 325.4. They also have the fourth team with the lowest average of points per game in the entire league, with 16.4.
One might be encouraged to think of an over considering that the Cardinals have not scored less than 20 points in their last three games, all of which ended with more than 50 total points, but the fact that the Rams defense is at least performing to what is expected shouldn’t be overlooked. It has the seventh defense with the best average total yards allowed (325.4) and the fourth fewest yards allowed on the ground on average (98.4).

Los Angeles Rams Future Odds after Week 9
Over/Under wins for the season: Over 8.5 (+105 for DraftKings) / Under 8.5 (-125 for DraftKings)
Are sportsbooks putting too much faith in the Rams? Their win total for this regular campaign stands at 8.5, despite last week’s drop. Stil, the team is not showing any signs of improvement, and they have only nine games left to play to meet the over.
Considering that this goal is six victories away, it still seems feasible, especially knowing that starting in December they will have a more accessible schedule, with games against rivals such as the Seahawks, the Raiders, the Packers, the Broncos and the Chargers. Although, if they do not manage to improve their performance, it may not be easy to achieve victories in these upcoming games.
NFC West Champions (+1000 from BetMGM)
The Los Angeles Rams’ chances of winning the division are getting slimmer and slimmer, according to sportsbooks as their odds for this went from +165 to +450 in Week 9, and for this Week 10 it increased again from +450 to +1000.
Now, the 49ers are the favorites to win the division, and even the Seattle Seahawks, who at the beginning of the season would have been last in the standings, have a better chance of winning the NFC West pennant.
NFC Champions (+2000 from BetMGM)
At the start of Week 9, the Rams had five teams above them that were more likely to win the National Conference according to the sportsbooks, but this number increased to six, as now the Seahawks are above them too, after their odds went from +1600 to +2000 before this game. It still could decrease if Los Angeles manages to achieve a victory, and if the Seahawks do not win their respective commitment.
Rams win Super Bowl (+5000 from BetMGM)
If this serves as a reference, then we can take for granted that we will have a new champion in the NFL at the end of this season, with 13 teams being favorites to win the Super Bowl over the Ram. The Rams saw their share continue to increase week by week, and will continue to do so if there is no drastic change in their performance.
