Through 3 Quarters

The Los Angeles Rams are just one quarter away from delivering their fans the win they've been expecting all week. It's looking more and more like their high-powered offense is just too much for the New England Patriots as Los Angeles lead 24-3.

RB Cam Akers has led the way so far for the Rams, as he has picked up 149 yards on the ground on 20 carries. This nimble footwork stands out as the first time Akers has hit the 100-yard rushing mark this season.

Los Angeles' lead is tied with the biggest they have had this year going into the fourth quarter.

What to Know

The New England Patriots are staying on the road on Thursday to face off against the Los Angeles Rams at 8:20 p.m. ET Dec. 10 at SoFi Stadium. Keep an eye on the score for this one: both teams posted some lofty points totals in their previous games, so things might heat up even more when they meet.

New England got themselves on the board against the Los Angeles Chargers last week, but Los Angeles never followed suit. The Patriots claimed a resounding 45 to nothing win over the Chargers on the road. With New England ahead 28 to nothing at the half, the matchup was all but over already. New England QB Cam Newton did work as he passed for one TD and 69 yards on 19 attempts in addition to rushing for two TDs and 48 yards.

Meanwhile, when you finish with 231 more yards than your opponent like Los Angeles did last week, a favorable outcome is almost sure to follow. They took their game against the Arizona Cardinals 38-28. The Rams' success was spearheaded by the efforts of QB Jared Goff, who passed for one TD and 351 yards on 47 attempts in addition to punching in one rushing touchdown, and RB Darrell Henderson, who punched in one rushing touchdown. Goff ended up with a passer rating of 148.50.

The Patriots are expected to lose this next one by 4.5. The smart bettors have been the ones to keep their money in their wallets whenever they hit the road.

New England is now 6-6 while Los Angeles sits at 8-4. Two stats to keep an eye on: New England is stumbling into the contest with the fewest passing touchdowns in the NFL, having accrued only eight on the season. To make matters even worse for the Patriots, the Rams enter the game with only 14 passing touchdowns allowed, which is the best in the league. New England fans had better hope their team can run the ball.
