Rams vs. Commanders Predictions for Sunday, NFL Week 9

24-9. That's how the Rams handled the Chargers in last week's Los Angeles showdown, and Kyren Williams found the end zone again on a 1-yard run late in the second quarter. It wasn't his best day on the ground (16 carries, 56 yards), but two weeks earlier the Rams' backfield ran for 192 yards against the Raiders.

Washington's defense was the story on Sunday night, shutting out Philadelphia over the final three-plus quarters, piling up five sacks and holding Saquon Barkley to 30 yards on 13 carries. That win came at a real cost, though. Defensive tackles Daron Payne (foot), who isn't expected back this season, and Javon Kinlaw (knee) both went to IR on Tuesday, along with running back Jeremy McNichols. Those losses are a big part of why the Rams vs. Commanders odds favor Los Angeles on the road.

The Rams have injury issues of their own, with cornerback Jaylen Watson needing season-ending shoulder surgery and Trent McDuffie missing Wednesday's practice. Still, the battle in the trenches is where our Rams vs. Commanders picks start, and you can track how all of our NFL expert picks perform throughout the season.

 

Rams vs. Commanders Expert Pick: Kyren Williams Anytime TD (-155 at DraftKings)

The Rams vs. Commanders odds opened with a 50.5 total that has come down to 48.5 at DraftKings, with the Rams laying 4.5 on the road. Even with that drop, Los Angeles carries an implied total in the mid-20s, and this offense has been finishing its drives on the ground.

Williams is the reason why. He has six rushing touchdowns this season, five of them in the last four games, and he's averaging 4.9 yards per carry. That's a back finding the end zone almost every week, and his score against the Chargers came from a yard out.

Now look at what he's running into. Washington ranked 31st in opponent rush success rate before it lost Payne and Kinlaw, two of its starting defensive tackles. Asking a thinned-out defensive line to slow a Rams run game that just put up 192 yards on the Raiders two weeks ago is a tall order, and it's why Williams tops our Rams vs. Commanders picks.

The risk is that Washington's defense carries over its Sunday night form, and Stafford can always finish a drive through the air. We'll still take the volume and the matchup, and the best bet from our Rams vs. Commanders predictions is Kyren Williams anytime touchdown (-155 at DraftKings).
