The LA Rams (8-6) visit the New York Jets (4-10) Sunday for a Week 16 showdown at MetLife Stadium. Kickoff from East Rutherford, N.J., is set for 1 p.m. ET (CBS). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NFL odds around the Rams vs. Jets odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.
The Rams have won 3 games in a row, putting themselves in great position to make a playoff run in January. They are tied for first place in the NFC West with the Seattle Seahawks — though the Rams own the tiebreaker thanks to a head-to-head win, but they play again in Week 18. LA is coming off a 12-6 victory as a 2.5-point underdog at the San Francisco 49ers in the Week 15 Thursday night game — the Under (48.5) easily cashed.
The Jets snapped a 4-game losing streak last Sunday by beating the Jacksonville Jaguars 32-25 as 3-point road favorites. New York finished with 400 total yards, the second straight week of 400 yards or more. The win was a nice bounce-back following a disappointing overtime 32-26 loss at the Miami Dolphins in Week 14.

Prediction
Rams 24, Jets 20
Moneyline
The Rams (-165) have been playing much better as of late, winning a 44-42 shootout against the Buffalo Bills in Week 14 before beating the 49ers 12-6 four days later.
The Jets (+140) are coming off a win over the Jaguars and have gained 400-plus yards in back-to-back weeks, but they’re still one of the weaker teams in the league.
Given the Rams’ volatility from week to week this season, they’re not worth taking on the ML at -165. PASS.
Against the spread
In their last 8 games, the Rams are 6-2 ATS. The Jets are a paltry 5-9 ATS on the season, including 3-7 ATS in the last 10 games.
Even with the number of one-possession games the Rams play, they’re still a good bet to cover the spread.
The spread is sitting at the key number of -3, so it’s not a bad idea to take the Rams now before the line moves up to -3.5.
BET RAMS -3 (-110) to cover the spread in their fourth straight game.
Over/Under
With the kickoff temperature projected to be around 24 degrees with 8 mph winds, colder conditions could make throwing the ball a bit more difficult. As a result, both teams could turn more toward their rushing attack, something the Rams have done in each of the last 2 weeks; RB Kyren Williams has 29 carries in back-to-back games.
The Jets’ passing attack isn’t prolific right now despite having talented receivers, so we could see the final score be lower than anticipated.
BET UNDER 46.5 (-110).
