Sunday, November 28, 2021 – 04:25 PM EDT at Lambeau Field
The Rams are coming off of a bye-week and should be fully rested, and prepared for the Packers this Monday Night.
However, in the week prior, in week 10, the Rams lost on the road to the San Francisco 49ers, 31-10. In their loss, the Rams gained 278 total yards with 5.1 yards per play, and allowed 335 total yards and 5.2 yards per play against them.
Los Angeles struggled running the ball, having only gained 52 rushing yards. However, they excelled on the pass with 226 passing yards. Their defense allowed the 49ers to gain 156 rushing yards and 179 passing yards.
The Packers are coming off of a close 34-31 loss on the road against the Vikings.
In their loss, the Packers gained 467 total yards with 8.6 yards per play, and allowed 408 total yards and 6.2 yards per play against them.
Green Bay had a great passing game with 372 passing yards, but only 95 rushing yards. Defensively, they allowed 90 rushing yards and 318 passing yards.

At first, I would be all over Green Bay. Aaron Rodgers has been incredibly efficient and their defense is tough.
However, the Packers are filled with injuries coming into this weekend, and it makes it very hard to back them. The Packers will be at home where they excel the most, and this could add to why they are the slight favorites for Sunday.
I know, the Rams have lost 2 consecutive games, but compared to the Packers right now, they are a very healthy team and they have had the time to prepare and fix their needed flaws before Sunday comes.
With the Packers having numerous players out due to injury, especially Elgton Jenkins with a torn ACL, I envision the Rams applying pressure and getting to Rogers with more ease. Rodgers is dealing with a toe injury, so seeing him scramble around the field may be limited.
The Rams may struggle running the ball, but they should thrive on the pass. Everyone is siding with the Packers since we all know home field advantage is a thing for them, however, we need to take into consideration all of the injuries on Green Bay’s end. I have to side with the healthier team in this one.
