The Los Angeles Rams have gotten back to their winning ways over the past two weeks, stringing together wins against the Las Vegas Raiders and Los Angeles Chargers. They'll look to extend their win streak to three in Week 9 when they take on the Washington Commanders.

The Commanders got their second win of the Season in Week 8 when they beat the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday Night Football. Despite being just 2-4-1 on the season, they're still in the mix in an NFC East that's currently being led by the Giants at 4-2-1.

Let's dive into the odds and my best bet for this NFC showdown.

Rams vs. Commanders Prediction and Best Bet

The Rams are a better team than they get credit for, and they're a better team than their early-season record. There is no denying that they're dealing with a plethora of injuries, but the Rams are still a top-10 team in almost every area.

The Rams are at their best when they're able to establish the run to help open up the passing game. Now they get to face a Commanders team that's 31st in opponent rush success rate.

The Commanders are dealing with injuries of their own, and I have doubts about Jayden Daniels' ability to carry his team to a win without any big-time weapons to lean on.

I'll lay the points on Los Angeles.

Pick: Rams -5.5 (-114) via FanDuel
