Los Angeles Rams vs New Orleans Saints: Prediction for the match on November 02, 2025

In Week 9 of the NFL season, the New Orleans Saints will visit the Los Angeles Rams. The Saints are struggling with a 1-7 record, tied for the worst in the league. Meanwhile, the Rams are fresh off a bye and lead the NFC West with a 5-2 record. Here at Telecom Asia, we break down the matchup and share our top betting picks for this exciting game.

Los Angeles Rams: Form and Statistics

The Los Angeles Rams head into Week 9 with a 5-2 record, coming off a well-timed bye. They're tied for the NFC West lead with the Seattle Seahawks, so every game counts — especially with tough matchups ahead, including the Saints, 49ers, and another game against Seattle. Offensively, the Rams have plenty of firepower. Last season, they ranked 10th in passing yards, and that hasn’t changed. Matthew Stafford continues to lead the offense, sitting first in the league with 17 passing touchdowns and only two interceptions. His timing and accuracy are as sharp as ever. Puka Nacua has emerged as a star, leading the team in both catches and receiving yards. He’s become the go-to guy when the Rams need a big play. The run game, however, is still a work in progress. Last year, they finished 23rd in rushing, and consistency remains an issue. Despite this, Los Angeles has managed to stay competitive, ranking 19th in scoring with 367 points. They win by relying on Stafford’s arm and creating mismatches in the passing game.

Los Angeles Rams: Team News

The Rams pass defense allows 208.3 yards per game, ranking 14th in the league. Opponents complete 62.5% of their passes, with the Rams giving up 8 touchdowns and picking off 4 passes. They’ve also recorded 26 sacks and 58 QB hits. Lately, teams have had more success throwing the ball against the Rams. They’ve allowed one 300-yard passer and two others with over 250 yards. The Rams have also given up three 100-yard receivers and four more with at least 60 yards. The Rams’ cornerback group, made up of Darious Williams, Cobie Durant, and Emmanuel Forbes, has 11 pass breakups but only one interception. Quentin Lake, however, has been a standout in the slot. He has an interception and leads the team with 9 passes broken up while limiting completion percentage to just 52.6%. Kamren Curl and Kamren Kinchens, the safeties, aren't known for their range, but they both have solid instincts and ball skills. Linebackers Nate Landman and Omar Speights also play well in the zone scheme, showing good awareness on the field.

New Orleans Saints: Form and Statistics

The New Orleans Saints will start rookie quarterback Tyler Shough in place of Spencer Rattler, who has been benched. Shough steps into a struggling offense that ranks 29th in points scored and 27th in total yardage. He’ll face a tough Rams defense that ranks 13th overall and 3rd in points allowed. The Saints have struggled in both the run game and passing game, and injuries haven’t helped. Kendre Miller, Erik McCoy, and Julian Blackmon are all on IR, creating gaps in both the offense and defense. Rashid Shaheed is also questionable, adding more uncertainty to a team already dealing with challenges.

New Orleans Saints: Team News

New Orleans' defense can still make plays, ranking in the top 10 in both sacks and interceptions. But they've been on the field too much. They’ve allowed nearly 400 points and rank near the bottom in yards allowed, showing how stretched the defense has become.

Los Angeles Rams vs New Orleans Saints Betting Tips & Odds

• The Rams' defense has been strong, ranking 11th in sacks and 7th in interceptions last season. But injuries could be an issue. Rob Havenstein and Puka Nacua are questionable, and Tutu Atwell and Ahkello Witherspoon are expected to miss time.
• This game will mark rookie quarterback Tyler Shough's first NFL start. He struggled to spark the offense when he replaced Spencer Rattler during Sunday’s 23-3 loss to the Buccaneers.
• Spencer Rattler, with a 68% completion rate, has struggled with just 6.2 yards per attempt and 6 turnovers in the last two weeks. In his place, rookie Tyler Shough completed 17 of 30 passes for 128 yards after replacing Rattler against Tampa Bay. Shough is more of a downfield thrower, which could suit the Saints' speedy wideouts better.
• Rashid Shaheed (11.1 yards per catch) and tight end Juwan Johnson (10.2) are the only Saints players averaging more than 10 yards per catch. Shaheed has 39 catches for 431 yards, while Johnson has 36 catches for 368 yards.
• Both are capable of more and need to use their skills to exploit matchups. Chris Olave, the Saints' top wide receiver, has 52 catches on 83 targets for 503 yards and a 9.7 average. Olave has talent but hasn’t performed up to expectations this season.

Los Angeles Rams vs New Orleans Saints Match Prediction 2nd November 2025

It's hard to see how the New Orleans Saints can compete at quarterback in Week 9 when Matthew Stafford is leading the Los Angeles Rams and has thrown 17 touchdowns and only two interceptions. The Rams have too many advantages, even though the spread is big. They just had a week off, have been in charge at the line of scrimmage, and might get Puka Nacua back after he hurt his ankle. The Rams have also won seven of the last ten games against the Saints and are 8-2 against the spread in their last ten games. With all that going for them, I feel good about giving the points and trusting Stafford and his team to stay focused. The Saints are having a hard time. In their last ten games, they have lost nine and only won three against the spread. They lost badly to a hurt Tampa Bay team in Week 8. It's hard to see how New Orleans can get past the strong Rams front seven, even with Alvin Kamara doing his best.
