Los Angeles Rams vs Atlanta Falcons Prediction: Champions Rams looking for first win

The Rams will host the Atlanta Falcons in match two of the National Football League on Sunday. Both teams will be hoping to get their first win of the season, as they come from a loss in their last match. The detailed analysis of the match, and betting outcomes are in the paragraphs below. 

After suffering their first setback of the season in their previous game, a 31-10 defeat at the hands of Buffalo, the Los Angeles Rams will attempt to get back on track. Matthew Stafford has completed 70.7% of his passes, accounting for 240 yards, a touchdown, and three interceptions, while Darrell Henderson Jr. leads the Rams in rushing with 47 yards and also leads the Rams in throwing yards. Cooper Kupp has accumulated a team-high 13 receptions, 128 receiving yards, and a score this season. Troy Hill leads the defense with eight tackles, while Bobby Wagner and Aaron Donald each have one sack. As of this point in the season, both Hill and Terrell Lewis have one interception apiece to their names.

The Falcons' lost 27-26 last week against the Saints Orleans. Cordarrelle Patterson had the most success among the Falcons' rushers, gaining 120 yards on 22 carries (5.5 yards per attempt). By catching five passes for 74 yards, Drake London averaged 14.8 yards per catch. Marcus Mariota completed 20 passes out of 33 attempts for 215 yards passing. He finished the game with a QB rating of 79.7 and no interceptions thrown on his behalf. The Falcons allowed their opponent to gain 151 yards on the ground in 19 carries for an average of 7.9 yards per carry. With a completion rate of 67.6%, the Falcons' pass defense allowed 23 for 34 attempts to be completed for 234 yards. Totaling 71 plays for 416 yards, they had a productive day. For an average of 5.3 yards per carry, the Atlanta Falcons ran the ball 38 times for 201 yards of offense.

The fact that Brady has been winless in regular-season games versus New Orleans since joining the Buccaneers will serve as the game's central plot point. Ultimately, a Jared Cook fumble helped Brady upset them in the playoffs. Dennis Allen's defense recorded a shutout against Brady for the first time in his career last season. The Orleans has been unstoppable in their last five matchups, winning four of those five despite being heavy underdogs. For that reason, we anticipate a close contest.
