This game kicks off Sunday, October 25, 2026 at 4:25 PM ET at Allegiant Stadium, airing on Fox. The market has the Rams as 3.5-point favorites with a total of 48.5, and Matthew Stafford leads the NFL with 1,794 passing yards this season, giving Los Angeles the edge through the air even while dealing with a banged-up receiver room.
Key players
Matthew Stafford completed 25 of 33 passes for 222 yards and 2 touchdowns with a 113.4 rating in Week 6, and he ranks first in the NFL with 1,794 passing yards this season; he's projected for 20.5 DraftKings points.
Puka Nacua is questionable with a calf injury but caught 6 passes for 80 yards in Week 6 and has 350 receptions in 48 career games, the most receptions in a player's first 50 career games in NFL history; he's projected for 22.5 DraftKings points.
Kyren Williams posted 67 scrimmage yards in Week 6 and has topped 75 scrimmage yards in four of his past five games; he carries a 17.5-point DraftKings projection.
Kirk Cousins threw for 313 yards and 2 touchdowns in Week 6 and is tied for first in the NFL with 14 touchdown passes this season, projected for 18.0 DraftKings points.
Brock Bowers caught 4 passes for 70 yards last week and has at least 5 receptions with a receiving touchdown in four of his past five games; he's projected for 16.5 DraftKings points.
Keys to the game
Keep Matthew Stafford upright behind a line where left tackle Alaric Jackson did not practice, with no game status announced yet; the Raiders' Maxx Crosby has a tackle for loss in 10 of his past 11 home games.
Ride the ground game through Kyren Williams and Blake Corum, with Williams chasing a third straight road game of 140-plus scrimmage yards and Corum looking for a third straight game with 60-plus scrimmage yards and a touchdown.
Make Kirk Cousins work for it through the air, since he's tied for first in the league with 14 touchdown passes and has thrown one in 10 straight starts; the Rams secondary, led by Quentin Lake's interception and Kam Curl's eight tackles and a tackle for loss last week, needs to limit the big plays to Brock Bowers and Tre Tucker.
Fantasy angles
Start Matthew Stafford with confidence; he's atop the NFL in passing yards this season and carries a 20.5-point projection.
Puka Nacua is a questionable with a calf injury, but his 22.5-point projection and six-catch, 80-yard Week 6 line make him worth starting if he's cleared.
Kyren Williams is a solid RB1 play here at 17.5 projected points, especially with his recent run of 75-plus scrimmage yards in four of his last five games.
Davante Adams slots in as a flex option at 14.5 projected points behind the Rams' top two targets.
Blake Grupe is a low-end streamer at 7.5 projected points and shouldn't be a priority add outside of deep kicker needs.
Prediction
The betting market projects a 26-23 final in favor of the Los Angeles Rams, and that lines up with what's in front of us: Stafford's league-leading passing numbers against a Raiders defense that's allowed points in bunches during its three-game slide, with the Rams' ground attack from Williams and Corum controlling enough of the clock to hold off a Las Vegas offense that can still move the ball through Cousins and Bowers.
