The Los Angeles Rams (0-0 SU, 0-0 ATS) visit the Detroit Lions (0-0 SU, 0-0 ATS) in a rematch of last year’s playoff game. The Lions emerged victorious by a single point on their way to the NFC championship game, and they enter this season expected to get back into the playoffs and make a run at the Super Bowl.

The Rams have similar expectations now, having made up for a lousy 2022 season by closing out 2023 on a hot streak. Los Angeles played several close games down the stretch to even get to the playoffs, and the Rams emerged victorious in most of them. Whether they can carry over their momentum from a season ago will go a long way toward deciding if they’re for real in 2024.

Our Detroit Lions vs Los Angeles Rams Prediction

Last year, this was Jared Goff’s game, as the Lions finally won a playoff game against the team that traded Goff to them for Matthew Stafford. Goff was incredibly efficient in that game, throwing just five incompletions against the Los Angeles defense. The Rams controlled the ground game very well, but they had no answer for Amon-Ra St. Brown.

The Rams barely tried to run the ball on Detroit last time, only calling 17 rushes for the entire game. Puka Nacua did to the Lions what St. Brown did to the Rams, going for 181 receiving yards and a score in that game. Both teams were able to bend without breaking, but their reliance on throwing the football means that the total is probably something to avoid here. Instead, the Lions’ tendency to win tight games against Los Angeles is the trend to watch. Our prediction for Los Angeles vs. Detroit is Rams -4.5.
