Washington Commanders vs Los Angeles Rams Odds

• Opening point spread: Rams -6.5
• Opening moneyline: Rams -300/Commanders +240
• Opening total: Over/Under 47.5 points scored
• Time: 4:05 p.m. ET Sunday (CBS)

UPDATE 4 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Right before kickoff, Los Angeles remains where it's been all week at BetMGM, as 6.5-point chalk. But it is all Rams, all the time.

Spread tickets are almost 6/1 and spread money 8/1 on L.A. The total is down a point from Friday at BetMGM, to 48 (see below update). Tickets and money are about 2.5/1 on the Over.

UPDATE 11 P.M. ET FRIDAY: L.A. is nailed to -6.5 in BetMGM's NFL odds Week 15 market, with no movement all week. However, early spread action is all Rams, at 87% of tickets/93% of money.

BetMGM's total went from 48.5 to 49 Monday, then back to 48.5 Tuesday. Wednesday brought moves to 49.5 and 50.5 (Over -120), and it's now at 50.5 flat. The Over is landing 84% of tickets/85% of cash. By ticket count, Commanders-Rams is the second-most-bet Over of the week at BetMGM.

UPDATE 11 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Los Angeles (6-7 SU/7-6-1 ATS) gave Baltimore all it could handle in Week 14. The visiting Rams, catching 7.5 points on the road, led multiple times and forced overtime with a field goal in the final seconds to tie it at 31.

But L.A. then lost 37-31 in excruciating fashion, on a 76-yard Tylan Wallace punt return.

Washington had a bye in Week 14 and probably needed it after Week 13. The Commanders closed as 8.5-point home 'dogs vs. Miami and got waxed 45-15. Washington is on slides of 0-4 SU/0-3 ATS.

Commanders-Rams is stable at L.A. -6.5 tonight at The SuperBook. However, the total is already on the move, quickly climbing from 47.5 to 48.5, then getting to 49 tonight.

Commanders vs Rams Pick, Prediction

Action Network NFL betting expert Brandon Anderson offers this prediction:

I'm all-in on the Rams right now. They're playing like a top-10 team over the past five weeks, with the most unstoppable offense in the league outside of San Francisco. Raheem Morris' defense has been much improved too, especially against the run, and that's important against the Commanders.

Mostly this is about the terrible Commanders' defense, worst in the league and completely lacking in pass rush since trading away Chase Young and Montez Sweat.

Teams that have allowed 28+ in three straight like the Commanders (four actually, and nine times this year) are 22-45-2 ATS (33%), and Sean McVay is 61% ATS after a loss. The Rams are great in the first half, where Washington is bad, so expect LA to get a lead early, play on the front foot, and possibly run up a big point total in an easy win. Play -6 if you can, but -6.5 is fine if needed.

Pick: Rams -6
