Rams Vs Commanders: Betting Picks and Odds for NFL Week 9 Matchup
Jesse M. Cox Published 05/11/2026
The Los Angeles Rams are 5.5-point road favorites against the Washington Commanders in their Week 9 matchup on Sunday, November 8. FanDuel Sportsbook lists Los Angeles at -255 on the moneyline, with the spread at -5.5 (-114) and the total at 47.5 points.
Washington's missing defensive tackles Daron Payne and Javon Kinlaw create a major problem against a Rams offense averaging 384.4 yards per game. These NFL predictions favor Los Angeles because of its stronger offensive production and Washington's defensive injuries.
Rams vs Commanders Game Preview
The Rams enter at 4-4 against Washington's 2-4-1 record, while both teams have shown different strengths this season. Los Angeles averages 24.2 points and 384.4 yards per game, compared with Washington's 22.7 points and 327.1 yards. Matthew Stafford has thrown for 2,146 yards, 15 touchdowns and eight interceptions, while Jayden Daniels has recorded 976 yards, six touchdowns and zero interceptions. The Rams are 4-4 against the spread, while Washington is 4-3, according to the available betting trends.
Injuries are a major concern for both teams. The Rams have listed cornerback Trent McDuffie, safety Kam Curl and tight end Colby Parkinson among players who missed early practice, while Stafford and Daniels have participated fully despite their reported arm and elbow concerns. Washington has lost Payne and Kinlaw to injured reserve, while wide receiver Terry McLaurin also remains unavailable. The game takes place at Northwest Stadium in Landover, Maryland, with temperatures near 60°F and westerly winds of 8 to 10 mph.
Rams vs Commanders Moneyline Pick
Take the Los Angeles Rams moneyline at -255 at FanDuel Sportsbook. Stafford's 15 touchdown passes and 67.3% completion rate give Los Angeles a reliable passing attack, while Kyren Williams has added 548 rushing yards and six touchdowns. Washington's defensive injuries make it harder to contain both parts of the Rams offense.
The Commanders have a +7 turnover differential, ranking first in the league, so their defense still has a way to create opportunities. However, Los Angeles has seven interceptions compared with Washington's four, giving the Rams an advantage in defensive takeaways. The -255 price is expensive, but the offensive production and Washington's missing defensive starters support backing Los Angeles in these NFL Picks.
Pick: Los Angeles Rams ML (-255 at FanDuel Sportsbook).
Against the Spread Pick
Take the Los Angeles Rams -5.5 (-114) at FanDuel Sportsbook. Los Angeles averages 384.4 yards per game, ranking fourth in the NFL, while Washington produces only 327.1 yards, ranking 20th. That difference gives the Rams more opportunities to sustain drives and build a lead.
The 5.5-point spread requires Los Angeles to win by at least six points. Despite Washington's +7 turnover differential, its defensive line has lost two key starters to injured reserve. The Rams' balanced offense supports covering the spread, and this Statistical analysis of NFL teams favors laying the points.
Pick: Los Angeles Rams -5.5 (-114 at FanDuel Sportsbook).
