Los Angeles Rams Insider Podcast: Final Game Predictions

On By Littum

The Los Angeles Rams (4-4) prepare for a matchup against a team they have faced just once since 2020. The Miami Dolphins (2-6) come to Sofi Stadium on Monday Night Football in a massive matchup that could giving the Rams their first winning record of the season.

On this episode of the Los Angeles Rams Insider Podcast, Rams on SI beat writer Tom Cavanaugh gives his final predictions and expectations as he provides a few key stats for a fourth straight win for the Rams on Monday night.

Prediction: Rams 24, Dolphins 16

The Rams offense has been very impressive over the past few weeks. With an average of just over 25 points per game during their three-game winning streak, the offense has put together clutch scoring drives when they need them most.

With how the Rams defense has performed of late, the Dolphins should have a hard time establishing an offensive presence in their first game at Sofi Stadium since it opened four years ago.

The game would be close for the majority of the contest until the Rams led 24-10 in the fourth quarter. A late touchdown and missed two-point conversion will put the Dolphins up 16 points, but will not be able to recover the onside kick. The Rams will win their fourth straight game to move to 5-4.

Keys to the game

The Rams have won their last three games, scoring over 20 points in each game. If they are able to achieve that total, they will be in good form this week. The Rams defense will face the second-highest scoring offense in the NFL, as the Dolphins are averaging a paltry 15.5 points per game. match.

Defensively, the Rams need another great performance. They have forced seven turnovers during their streak, including six interceptions. At least two turnovers are required to end scoring drives for the Dolphins, who need as many as they can get.

Quarterback pressure will be another major key this week after the Rams sacked the Seattle Seahawks seven times last week. Rookie linebacker Jared Verse leads all rookies with 39 pressures and 3.5 sacks this season. If he can get going early and often, the Dolphins will have a long day.
