The Los Angeles Rams face a must-win situation to keep themselves on track for the No. 5 seed when they visit the Atlanta Falcons. The Rams can no longer win the NFC West because Seattle and San Francisco end the year with each other, but they can give themselves an easier road to the playoffs by improving their seed. Beating the Falcons and Arizona would set Los Angeles up to play the NFC South champion first, and an upset elsewhere could give them an easier matchup in round 2 and beyond.
The Rams have put themselves in this position because Matthew Stafford has moved the offense almost every time he’s stepped on the field. Los Angeles isn’t quite up to the Greatest Show on Turf days of the 1999 Super Bowl champions, but these Rams aren’t far off. L.A. is leading the NFL in scoring at just over 30 points per game.

Our Los Angeles Rams (132302) (Game ID: 7640419) vs 2025-12-30 01:15: Atlanta Falcons (115090) Prediction
The over has hit in six of Atlanta’s past eight games, but the biggest question is whether the Falcons will do their share of the scoring. Atlanta’s offense is decent and has looked better with Kirk Cousins running the show, but the Falcons still have to come up with two or three touchdowns to hit this over against an aggressive Los Angeles defense.
The good news is that Atlanta still appears to care about its performance, and it has moved the football pretty well. If the Falcons fall behind, which they likely will, they’re not going to pack it in and give up on the game. They’re likely to push the tempo to try to keep up with the Rams. The Los Angeles defense is aggressive, which runs both ways: the Rams might create turnovers, or they might get hit with the big play. Either is a good recipe for an over. Our prediction for Los Angeles vs. Atlanta is Over 49.5 Points.
