Matthew Stafford QB vs. Joe Burrow QB
Matthew Stafford of the Rams has already shown his experience to great advantage this season. With 641 passing yards over two games and an admirable completion rate of 62.4 percent on 58 of 93 attempts (combined), he boasts an outstanding completion rate. Nonetheless, there has only been one touchdown scored thus far while two interceptions have been given away, suggesting caution and need for greater precision against Bengals’ defense.
Joe Burrow of the Bengals has yet to find his stride this season. Known for his dynamic nature, this young quarterback has amassed 304 passing yards through two games with 41 of 72 attempts completed; his completion rate of 56.9% trails that of Stafford, while two touchdowns demonstrate potential. But three sacks demonstrate pressure placed upon him which concerns some. With a passer rating of 70.6 and yet to reach his explosive peak performance against Rams’ defense this is his chance to show exactly who is superior and make an impressionful statement of who’s superior in performance he might become.

Los Angeles Rams Betting Trends
The Rams have shown an interesting pattern in their recent games. They’ve had success against the spread (ATS), going 4-1 against it over their last five matches, but their straight-up (SU) record over that same span stands at just 3-10, showing some degree of inconsistency. Their road record has been especially dismal; 1-7 straight up over 8 away games against AFC teams such as Bengals. Totals often remain UNDER.
Cincinnati Bengals Betting Trends
The Bengals have also experienced difficulty on the scoreboard this season, particularly against the spread. Over their last six games they are 1-5 ATS; yet have managed an 11-3 record against opponents since May 2013 while winning 7 out of 8 home games against Los Angeles Rams; playing them has generally resulted in totals leaning towards under values due to historical precedent.
Los Angeles Rams vs. Cincinnati Bengals 9/25/23 Betting Picks

Due to both defenses being formidable and their history together, it may be prudent to lean toward an under in terms of total points scored in this game. Regarding who may win it all – Bengals have home field advantage, while recent Rams’ form may put them ahead but given how unpredictable games can be it remains open-ended.
