NFL predictions: Washington Commanders vs Los Angeles Rams

Writer Scott Jennings previews the upcoming NFL matchup between the Washington Commanders and the Los Angeles Rams, predicting a 26-19 Rams victory. The 2-4-1 Commanders face the 4-4 Rams, who enter the contest as road favorites. Jennings argues that Washington will struggle to overcome offensive injuries and a weak ground game against a Rams squad featuring newly activated Myles Garrett.

Washington will be missing wide receivers Treylon Burks and Dyami Brown due to foot and calf injuries, leaving Stefon Diggs and Antonio Williams as the primary healthy targets for quarterback Jayden Daniels. The Rams are missing Davante Adams, but quarterback Matthew Stafford will target receiver Puka Nacua against the Commanders secondary.
