The Los Angeles Rams take on the New England Patriots November 17th, 2024 at Gillette Stadium at 1:00 pm
The Los Angeles Rams head to Gillette Stadium to face off against the New England Patriots in a matchup that pits two struggling teams against each other. The Rams, sitting at 4-5, have shown flashes of offensive capability, largely led by Matthew Stafford, who has thrown for 2,262 yards and 9 touchdowns this season. Kyren Williams has been a reliable force in the backfield with 664 rushing yards and 8 touchdowns. However, the Rams’ offensive line injuries, notably Rob Havenstein and Joe Noteboom, could pose a significant challenge against a Patriots defense that has been inconsistent but capable of pressuring the quarterback. On the other side, the Patriots, with a 3-7 record, have had their own struggles, particularly with injuries affecting their lineup. Drake Maye has been steady under center, but his 7 touchdowns to 5 interceptions ratio highlights the team’s offensive struggles. Rhamondre Stevenson provides a solid rushing attack, but the absence of key players like David Andrews and Ja’Whaun Bentley on defense could leave the Patriots vulnerable, especially against a Rams team that has shown they can capitalize on defensive lapses. Both teams are dealing with significant injuries, which could lead to a game where defensive breakdowns are more common. The Rams’ slight edge in offensive efficiency, combined with the Patriots’ defensive woes, suggests that points could be more plentiful than expected. This matchup has the potential to exceed the projected total points.
