QUARTERBACK

• Matthew Stafford is the projected starting quarterback for LAR

  7.21 Y/A

  Through 6 games in 2026, Matthew Stafford threw for 1794 passing yards, completed 65.9% of his passes and averaged 7.21 yards per attempt. Last season over 17 games he threw for 4707 yards, completed 65% and averaged 7.88 yards per attempt, 46-8 touchdowns to interceptions. This season's 11-6 touchdown-to-interception line is 6 games in.

• Kirk Cousins is the projected starting quarterback for LV

  7.43 Y/A

  Through 6 games in 2026, Kirk Cousins threw for 1582 passing yards, completed 63.4% of his passes and averaged 7.43 yards per attempt. Last season over 10 games he threw for 1721 yards, completed 61.7% and averaged 6.4 yards per attempt, 10-5 touchdowns to interceptions. This season's 14-5 touchdown-to-interception line is 6 games in.

TRENCHES

• LAR: 4.52 yards per rush attempt to LV's 2.98

  1.53 Y/C

  The Rams average 4.52 a carry and Las Vegas is at 2.98, which means the Raiders rarely stay ahead of the chains on the ground. Both teams sit close to last season, 4.69 for the Rams and 3.38 for the Raiders, so this gap is real and has held. The Raiders will lean on passing downs, and the Rams can keep a lead with the run. In close spots, the team that can actually run the ball has the easier path.

• LAR: 112.7 rushing yards per game to LV's 79.2

  33.5 YPG

  The Rams run for about a third more than the Raiders each week. Both numbers sit close to last season's: Rams 126.6 then, 112.7 now, Raiders 77.5 then, 79.2 now. That makes this one of the steadier gaps on the board over 6 games. Expect the Rams to lean on the ground game in Las Vegas while the Raiders have rarely shown they can match it on the ground.

PASS RUSH

• LV: 2.5 sacks recorded per game to LAR's 1.33

  1.17 SACKS

  LAR is at 1.33 sacks recorded per game over 6 games; LV is at 2.5 over 6 games. Those are what each defense has allowed in this season's games through Oct 24.

PACE & SCRIPT

• LAR @ LV carries a 48.5 market total

  48.5

  Five points above the 43.5 median across 13 games puts this in the upper tier of the slate. The market expects steady scoring from both sides, without a full shootout. It cracks if either offense settles for field goals instead of finishing drives. Red-zone results are the swing factor for a number in this range.

• LV: 27 points per game to LAR's 22.5

  4.5 PPG

  LAR is at 22.5 points per game over 6 games; LV is at 27 over 6 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 24. Last season LAR was at 30.5 over 17 games and LV at 14.2 over 17 games.

• LAR: 23 points allowed per game to LV's 27

  4 PPG

  LAR is at 23 points allowed per game over 6 games; LV is at 27 over 6 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 24. Last season LAR was at 20.4 over 17 games and LV at 25.4 over 17 games.

TURNOVERS

• LV: 1.67 takeaways per game to LAR's 1

  0.67 TO

  LAR is at 1 takeaways per game over 6 games; LV is at 1.67 over 6 games. Those are what each defense has allowed in this season's games through Oct 24.

EXPLOSIVE PLAYS

• LAR: 5.88 yards per play to LV's 5.33

  0.55 Y/P

  The Rams gain 5.88 yards a snap to the Raiders' 5.33, but the Raiders are up a full yard from last season's 4.35 while the Rams slipped from 6.15. In their last games, the Raiders had 4 plays of 20-plus yards with Kirk Cousins hitting Tre Tucker for a 44-yard score, and the Rams had just 1, a 43-yarder from Matthew Stafford to Puka Nacua. The gap is closing, so the Raiders can stay in this one more than last season's numbers would suggest.

RED ZONE

• LAR: 50% red-zone scoring allowed to LV's 73.9%

  23.9 PP

  The Rams have let opponents score on 50% of red-zone trips over 6 games; the Raiders allow 73.9% over 6. Red-zone numbers rest on few possessions, so both can move fast with a couple of goal-line stands or busts. For now, Las Vegas has been the softer defense once the field shrinks. That leans toward Rams drives finishing in the end zone more often than Raiders drives do in this game.

MISMATCH

• LAR: 112.7 rush yards a game to LV's 79.2

  112.7 VS 79.2

  The Rams run for 112.7 yards a game over six games, down from 126.6 last season, while Las Vegas manages 79.2, close to its 77.5. The Raiders' weak ground game matches last year, so their number looks real. Los Angeles can lean on the run to control tempo, while Vegas has to pass to move. That gap shapes clock control and play calling.

COVERAGE

• LAR: 4.82 yards per play allowed to LV's 5.98

  1.17 Y/P

  The Rams allow 4.82 yards per play over 6 games, while Las Vegas allows 5.98 over the same span. Yards per play is less tied to game script than totals, so a gap this size over six games usually reflects a real difference in unit quality. For Rams at Raiders, Los Angeles' offence should move the ball more efficiently, which matters for spread and total thinking.

• LAR: 167 passing yards allowed per game to LV's 237.3

  70.3 YPG

  The Rams give up 167 passing yards a game while Las Vegas gives up 237.3, both over 6 games. Alongside the Rams' lower yards per play, it reads as a solid defense more than a schedule quirk, though six games can still hide easy opponents. For Rams at Raiders, the Los Angeles passing attack has the friendlier matchup, which points toward Rams yardage props.

• LAR: 32.9% third downs allowed to LV's 41.3%

  8.5 PP

  LAR is at 32.9% third downs allowed over 6 games; LV is at 41.3% over 6 games. Those are what each defense has allowed in this season's games through Oct 24.

REPLACEMENT

• Dont'e Thornton Jr. (WR) is ir-r for LV

  IR-R

  Thornton is on injured reserve with a designation to return, and he has a hamstring injury that has him ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rams. The Raiders' other receivers absorb his targets. He is not close to helping this week, so treat Las Vegas as playing without him.

• Carter Runyon (TE) is ir-r for LV

  IR-R

  The Raiders have ruled out Runyon with a foot injury for Sunday's game against the Rams. He is on injured reserve with a designation to return, so he is working toward a comeback but is not ready this week. The other Las Vegas tight ends handle the snaps.

• Davante Adams (WR) is on injured reserve for LAR

  IR

  The Rams placed Adams on injured reserve Tuesday with a hamstring injury, so he misses the game in Las Vegas. Losing a veteran receiver pushes more targets to the rest of the Rams' pass catchers. Bettors should expect a different target share in the Los Angeles passing game this week.

• Terrance Ferguson (TE) is on injured reserve for LAR

  IR

  Ferguson is on injured reserve with an ankle injury. He becomes eligible to return next week, but he is not expected to be ready then. The Rams' other tight ends keep carrying the work in Las Vegas and likely beyond.

• Myles Garrett (DE) is on injured reserve for LAR

  IR

  Garrett is on injured reserve with a knee injury, so he will not play at Las Vegas. Sean McVay said Friday, Oct 23, that Garrett's 21-day practice window could open next week. That is the first step toward a return, and the clock starts once he practices. For this game, the Rams rush the passer without him. A return is coming soon but has not happened yet.

• Kobie Turner (DE) is on injured reserve for LAR

  IR

  Turner went on injured reserve Wednesday, Oct 21, with a groin injury, so he is out against the Raiders. He joins Myles Garrett on IR, which leaves the Rams thin on the defensive line for this trip. The sheet does not name who fills his spot. With two linemen gone, a Las Vegas run game that might normally be ignored gets more interesting.

• Poona Ford (DT) is on injured reserve for LAR

  IR

  The Rams placed Ford (triceps) on injured reserve Tuesday. Reported Oct 20.

• Blake Grupe (PK) is on injured reserve for LAR

  IR

  Rams head coach Sean McVay announced Monday that Grupe will miss the remainder of the season after sustaining a torn ACL in Sunday's 18-16 loss to the Cardinals, Greg Beacham of the Associated Press reports. Reported Oct 19.

SITUATIONAL

• LAR: 288.7 team passing yards per game to LV's 263.5

  25.2 YPG

  LAR is at 288.7 team passing yards per game over 6 games; LV is at 263.5 over 6 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 24. Last season LAR was at 268.1 over 17 games and LV at 167.7 over 17 games.

• LAR (2-4) at LV (3-3)

  +3 PT GAP

  Both teams sit near even on points: the Rams are -3 at 2-4, the Raiders are exactly 0 at 3-3. Las Vegas has lost three straight and is 1-2 at home, while the Rams are 1-1 on the road and have lost two in a row. Neither team brings momentum. The Rams' margin suggests a few close losses, so the one-game gap in the records is smaller than it looks.

STREAK

• LV has lost 3 straight

  L3

  LV carries a 3-game losing streak into this one, sitting at 3-3 on the season. They face LAR in LAR @ LV. Current-2026 standings through 2026-10-24.
