Redskins at Rams live stream: TV info, prediction, odds and more
The Rams looked strong in the first weekend of the NFL regular season, and they’ll hope to keep it up as they play the Redskins in Week 2.
The Los Angeles Rams came up big in Week 1 of the regular season against the Indianapolis Colts, and now they’ll look to keep up the pace and potentially hold onto their top spot in the NFC West that they earned last Sunday.
Meanwhile, the Washington Redskins are looking to play spoiler on Sunday afternoon, as they look to bounce back from a loss in Week 1 to the Philadelphia Eagles to fall behind in the NFC East. A loss to the Rams would be a bad look for the team, as they’d fall behind early in the division and would help propel the Rams to the top of the NFC West to fully ring in this bizarro world.
If you’re for some reason looking to watch a game between the Rams and Redskins on Sunday afternoon, you’ll be able to tune in to FOX on if you’re in either of the two teams’ respective markets for the game. Or, for another option, you can always become an NFL Sunday Ticket subscriber to check it out even if you’re out of market. Plus, if you’re away from home on Sunday, you can stream the whole game live on your mobile devices if you sign up for the Sunday Ticket live streaming service.
Details for watching the game can be found below:
Date: Sunday, September 17
Time: 4:25 pm ET
TV: FOX
Live stream: NFL Sunday Ticket
Odds: Rams -2.5, according to SportsBook Review
The Rams are looking strong at the moment, and the Redskins aren’t exactly a huge threat to their success, especially considering the Rams are at home again in Week 2. If they can keep up the momentum from last week, the Rams should be able to squeak by in a close game like the odds say it will be.
Pick: Rams 23, Redskins 20
After a dominant Week 1 win over the Indianapolis Colts, the Los Angeles Rams will host the Washington Redskins at the Coliseum on Sunday. The Redskins are coming off of a disappointing loss to the Eagles, and will have a tough time avoiding an 0-2 start with the way Jared Goff’s squad is playing.
This game probably won’t come down to the quarterbacks, however. There are key matchups all over the field that will determine who comes away with a victory on Sunday.
Here are the three biggest battles to watch this weekend.
Sammy Watkins vs. Josh Norman
Any time Norman is on the field, he makes the matchup on the outside must-watch. The Redskins are utilizing him as more of a lockdown corner who follows No. 1 receivers more often than he did in 2016, which means he’ll likely be lined up across from Watkins frequently on Sunday. Norman is one of the top corners in the game today, especially in zone coverage, so Jared Goff will have to be cognizant when targeting Watkins this week.
He didn’t face a defensive back with Norman’s skill set against the Colts, so this will be a far tougher test. Watkins will need to keep Norman on his toes by hauling in a deep pass or two when targetd downfield, keeping him honest defensively. If he can make that happen, the Rams will have success on offense. Either that, or Goff will have to go after Bashaud Breeland and Kendall Fuller.
Aaron Donald vs. Brandon Scherff
This was a key matchup to watch two years ago when these two teams squared off. Scherff is one of the premier guards in the game today, and we all know how good Donald is. In 2015, Donald had five tackles, a half-sack, one quarterback hit and two tackles for loss. It wasn’t his best game ever, but he clearly had an impact on the way the Redskins’ offense operated.
Scherff struggled in Week 1 and was Pro Football Focus’ second-worst guard in the NFL against the Eagles, partly because of the fact that he was facing Fletcher Cox. His assignment won’t be any easier this week with Donald lining up across from him, so he’ll need to step up and perform at a much higher level. This matchup will be one that has a huge impact on which team comes away with a win in Week 2.
Ryan Kerrigan vs. Andrew Whitworth
Kerrigan returned an interception for a touchdown against the Eagles in Week 1, but his impact on this game will come as a pass rusher, as it typically is. He’ll be facing one of the top tackles in the NFL in Whitworth, who didn’t allow a single quarterback pressure against the Colts on Sunday. Kerrigan came away with a half-sack in Week 1, but he missed opportunities to bring down Carson Wentz a few other times. Goff isn’t as big or strong as Wentz, so that won’t be as big of an issue.
Whitworth is like a vacuum on the left side, swallowing any and all pass rushers he faces. He’ll need to keep that up against Kerrigan, which will be a tough task. The clean pocket L.A. gave Goff last week proves he’s a precision passer when defenders aren’t all over him.
