6 Minute ReadRams vs. Ravens Prediction: Can Rams Avoid Upset From Cooper Rush, Ravens?
The Los Angeles Rams head to Baltimore in Week 6 well-rested and eager to rebound after a heartbreaking overtime loss to the 49ers on Thursday Night Football. That setback dropped them to 3-2, but Sean McVay’s group has looked sharp overall this season, led by a resurgent Matthew Stafford and a dynamic receiving duo in Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua. The Rams offense has shown excellent balance and efficiency, and after a few extra days of preparation, they’ll look to take advantage of a severely depleted Ravens squad that’s limping into this matchup on both sides of the ball.
The Ravens’ season has been derailed by injuries, and Week 6 looks no different. With Lamar Jackson sidelined by a lingering hamstring issue, backup Cooper Rush is set to make his second straight start at quarterback. The problem extends beyond the offense, though, as Baltimore’s defense is also without several key starters in the secondary and defensive front. That lack of continuity was exposed in last week’s blowout loss to the Texans, where the Ravens gave up over 400 yards of offense and looked out of sync from start to finish.
Now, facing a well-prepared and healthier Rams team, the Ravens are in danger of falling into a deeper hole. Los Angeles is currently a -7 road favorite, a number that would have been unthinkable just a few weeks ago, but reflects the current state of Baltimore’s roster. If Stafford can stay upright and continue spreading the ball around, the Rams should have little trouble exploiting mismatches and cruising to a controlled road victory on Sunday.

Rams vs. Ravens Prediction
This matchup pits the Ravens' embattled quarterback, Cooper Rush, against one of the league's most formidable defensive units. Rush’s projected stat line for this game – 19 completions on 29 attempts for 185.0 yards and 0.7 interceptions – already suggests a conservative approach, but his historical performance against top-tier defenses paints a bleaker picture. In five career games against defenses ranked in the top-10, Rush has averaged a paltry 168.0 passing yards per game with a dismal 64.9 passer rating, throwing 6 interceptions against just 3 touchdowns for a 0.5 TD:INT ratio.
He now faces a Rams defense that boasts an elite 4th-ranked pass rush (by sacks) and a respectable 14th-ranked pass defense (by QB rating allowed). This synergy of suffocating pressure and tight coverage creates a hostile environment, suggesting Rush will struggle to find rhythm and consistent production, further compounding the Ravens' offensive woes. The Rams' ability to stifle the pass and generate pressure will be critical in keeping the Ravens' struggling offense grounded.
On the flip side, the Rams' veteran signal-caller, Matthew Stafford, appears poised for a bounce-back performance against a significantly less imposing Ravens defense. Stafford’s projection of 23 completions on 34 attempts for 262.8 yards and 0.5 interceptions is already robust, but his historical splits against top-10 pass defenses (where he averages 260.8 YPG, a 95.6 passer rating, and a 6.0 TD:INT ratio over 8 games) underscore his capability to perform under pressure. Now, he faces a Ravens unit languishing at 30th in the league against the pass (by QB rating allowed) and an equally abysmal 30th in pass rush effectiveness (by sacks).
This scenario presents a glaring mismatch. Stafford, known for his arm talent and ability to dissect defenses, will likely have ample time in the pocket and open targets downfield. The absence of a significant pass rush combined with a porous secondary creates a high-value opportunity for Stafford to exploit, suggesting a potentially prolific outing for the Rams' aerial attack.
The ground game offers another avenue for the Rams to dominate, particularly through their lead back, Kyren Williams. Williams is projected for a solid 16.8 attempts and 78.1 rushing yards, a figure that becomes even more compelling when juxtaposed with the Ravens’ defensive struggles against the run. Baltimore ranks a lowly 23rd in the league in rush yards per carry allowed, indicating a significant vulnerability on the ground.
This defensive weakness, coupled with Williams' consistent production, creates a favorable environment for the Rams to establish their run game and control the clock. Indeed, our model has identified a substantial gap to exploit, flagging a strong edge on the Over 71.5 rushing yards prop for Kyren Williams, with positive Expected Value (EV) of 11.6% at odds of 1.91 (-110). This indicates a high-value opportunity for Williams to exceed his projection and for the Rams to lean heavily on their rushing attack.
Ultimately, the most decisive factor in this contest will be the stark contrast in quarterback performance and the respective defenses they face. While Cooper Rush faces a daunting challenge against a top-tier Rams defense, Matthew Stafford and the Rams' offense are poised to feast on a Ravens unit struggling profoundly against both the pass and the run. Stafford's ability to consistently perform against even the best defenses, now against a bottom-tier unit, points towards the Rams' passing game being the undeniable catalyst for victory.
