Rams vs. Commanders prediction: Matthew Stafford leads L.A. to road win (nypost)
“The preseason Super Bowl favorites are 4-4 midway through the campaign, and if the season ended today, they would be on the outside of the playoff picture looking in.
The Commanders didn’t have nearly as much hype entering the season, but can’t be thrilled with their 2-4-1 record so far. With the NFL trade deadline looming, time is running out for both teams to start their turnaround.
Oddsmakers have the Rams as 4.5-point favorites on the road, with the Over/Under down to 48.5 from the opening number of 50.5.“

“Landover got a feel-good Sunday night last week, when Washington scored 27 straight points in the 27-10 win over Philadelphia. The national picks aren’t buying a second straight upset. Matthew Stafford’s Los Angeles Rams arrive at Northwest Stadium as near-unanimous picks to beat Jayden Daniels and the Washington Commanders, and our staff went 4-0 for the Rams in this week’s picks against the spread.“

“The Rams entered the year as the preseason Super Bowl favorite after a flurry of offseason moves and a trip to the NFC Championship Game last year. The early results were poor, with L.A. starting off 2-4, but the team has won its last two games with the offense looking more like the top-ranked unit we saw in 2025. A trip across the country is always tough, but with a win here, the Rams can get over .500 for the first time in 2026. “

“Garrett only played in 61.5 percent of the Rams’ snaps in Week 1, failing to record a tackle or a sack. He was clearly at less than 100 percent in that game, so Los Angeles is hoping to get the game-wrecking version of the former No. 1 overall pick back on Sunday.
Last season, Garrett set the single-season sack record (23.0) as a member of the Cleveland Browns. The Rams then traded a boatload of draft capital and pass rusher Jared Verse to add Garrett in the offseason. Sunday’s game will be the first time Garrett plays for the Rams on U.S. soil, and he’ll finally team up with Aaron Donald, who came out of retirement for the Rams this season.“
