Spread
This might be the least-sexy matchup of the week on paper since it's Week 7 and these teams have combined for only three wins, but there's a clear side that bettors are backing.
If you think seven points seems like a lot for a one-win team to be laying in the NFL, you're not alone. Our expert projections indicate that getting to the key number of seven is a surprise and that this spread should be lower. With that, our bet is on the Raiders as road 'dogs.
Moneyline
While our recommended pick is to back the Raiders, it's not to do so on the moneyline.
Over/Under
Our projections are in line with this game's total, so there's no recommended pick.
My pick: Raiders +7.5 (Bet to +7)

Raiders vs. Rams NFL Week 7 Preview
Who cares about Sunday’s NFL Week 7 matchup between the 2-4 Raiders and 1-4 Los Angeles Rams?
Savvy football bettors, that’s who.
The public sees the Raiders, now without Davante Adams, and the Rams, still without Puka Nacua and potentially Cooper Kupp, and is happy to pass on this game altogether.
However, Action PRO’s NFL Projections suggest that may be a bad idea.
Action PRO’s NFL model — powered by Sean Koerner, Stuckey, Chris Raybon and Simon Hunter — project the Raiders vs. Rams spread at Las Vegas +4.9, which translates to a 3.8% edge when compared to the widely available Raiders +7.
To put a 3.8% edge in context, this is the largest edge of the entire NFL Week 7 slate, and it’s not particularly close.
