(451) Los Angeles Rams at (452) Jacksonville Jaguars

9:30am EDT - Oct 19/2025

THE PLAY: Los Angeles Rams -3.0 (+100)

Los Angeles and Jacksonville will play this game in London. The Rams come in off a boring 17-3 win in Baltimore; a game that could have been much different had the Ravens scored from the 1-yard line right before the half. Los Angeles was in a poor spot for that game, and they also lost their best WR (Puka Nacua) to an ankle injury. But they got the job done despite the less than ideal circumstances, and it’s more likely now that they’ll come with a much better effort. Reports say Nacua will likely miss this game, but his absence will only increase the focus of the offense. The Rams have enough remaining pieces to overcome his absence, especially against a team like Jacksonville. The Jaguars lost at home to the Seahawks while only scoring 12 points. They came off a lucky win in the final seconds the week prior, so this isn’t a team playing too well right now. Jacksonville’s offense can be good, but we’ve only seen it against the very bad defenses they’ve played. This is a poor matchup for them on both sides of the ball, and the line is quite cheap on Los Angeles because of them most likely being without Nacua. Lay the field goal with the Rams in this game on Sunday moring.
