The Las Vegas Raiders are riding the momentum as they prepare for a Thursday night game with the Los Angeles Rams. Here are the x-factors in the matchup.
Don’t get ahead of yourself just yet, but are the Las Vegas Raiders set to make back-to-back miraculous runs to close out the season and punch their ticket to the playoffs? Regardless, that ambition means little if the Silver and Black can’t pick up a win against a heavily limited Los Angeles Rams team on Thursday Night Football.
On paper and based on each team’s performance over the past few weeks, the Raiders walk into this contest as the definitively better team.
Despite injuries to both rosters, Las Vegas is beginning to slowly look like the team many hoped they would be at the start of the season. That still means they need to hone in on any advantage they have in order to make it a four-game winning streak by the conclusion of Week 14.
These are the x-factors for the matchup between the Raiders and the Rams.
