The Los Angeles Rams (3-1) face off against the Washington Football team (1-3) in this week 5 matchup.
The Rams come in to this game 7th in total yards per game on offense (397.3 Yds/Game) passing for 255.0 Yds/game and rushing for 142.3 Yds/Game. The Rams are 13th in total yards allowed on defense per game (353.3 Yds/Game) allowing 229.8 Yds/Game through the air and 123.5 Yds/Game on the ground. The Rams have 12 sacks, 4 interceptions, and 2 fumbles recovered, while giving up 6 sacks, 2 interceptions, and 3 fumbles lost this season.
The Washington come in to this game ranked 30th in total offense (301.8 Yds/Game) passing for 209.5 Yds/Game and rushing for 92.3 Yds/Game. Washington are 7th in total yards allowed on defense per game (338.3 Yds/Game) allowing 208.5 Yds/Game through the air and 129.8 Yds/Game on the ground. Washington have 14 sacks, 5 interceptions, and 1 fumble recovered, while giving up 13 sacks, 3 interceptions, and 5 fumbles lost.
I like the Rams to cover here, by the looks of it the Rams will look to utilize the run game to control this game. They will likely be playing from ahead while Washington tries to throw their way back into the game. The tricky part for Washington is that the Rams defense is 7th in aDOT limiting their opponents to a lot of short throws.
