Why the Raiders can cover
Former Fresno State teammates Derek Carr and Davante Adams have been clicking, connecting for seven touchdowns over the last five games. Adams has posted four 100-yard performances during that span and ranks fourth in the NFL with 1,176 receiving yards. The 29-year-old wideout hauled in a pair of scoring passes from Carr last Sunday to tie Kansas City’s Travis Kelce for first in the league with 12 TD catches.
Since an abysmal outing in Week 8 at New Orleans in which he had only 101 passing yards, Carr has stepped up his game. The 31-year-old has thrown for at least 248 yards and two touchdowns in five straight contests, amassing 11 scoring passes with only three interceptions in that stretch. Carr has made 13 of his 20 TD tosses this season on the road, with eight of them going to Adams. See which team to pick here.
Why the Rams can cover
The team easily could have gone 3-3 over its last six contests, as three of the defeats during its skid were by one score. The Rams dropped a 16-13 decision at Tampa Bay in Week 9 on a touchdown with nine seconds remaining in the fourth quarter and fell 27-23 to Seattle last Sunday by virtue of a TD with 36 seconds left. Cam Akers was one of the club’s few bright spots against the Seahawks, as he ran for a pair of touchdowns after rushing for just one over his first nine games this year.
Bobby Wagner recorded two sacks and an interception last week against the team with which he spent the previous 10 seasons. The 32-year-old linebacker is tied for the club lead with five sacks, which matches the career-high he set in 2013 with Seattle. The Rams’ defense has been strong against the run this season, as it ranks fourth with an average of 96.7 yards allowed. See which team to pick here.
