Rams vs. Dolphins: How to watch, predictions and betting odds

The Rams are looking to extend their winning streak to four games after an overtime win over the Seattle Seahawks.

Quarterback Matthew Stafford has scored six touchdowns in the last two games, including the game-winner to receiver Demarcus Robinson in Seattle. Stafford has 366 touchdowns in his career and needs one to move into 10th place on the NFL’s all-time list.

Stafford and coach Sean McVay hope star receiver Puka Nacua has learned a lesson after he was sent off for hitting a Seahawks player. When Nacua stays in the game, he teams up with Robinson and Cooper Kupp to give Stafford a number of targets.

Monday night’s game could mark the return of center backs Jonah Jackson and Steve Avila, who were sidelined for seven games due to injuries. Joe Noteboom or Warren McClendon Jr. will start in place of injured right tackle Rob Havenstein.

The Rams defense, which features young defensive linemen Jared Verse and Braden Fiske, has scored in four straight games, including Kamren Kinchens’ 103-yard interception return against the Seahawks.

The Dolphins are 2-6 under coach Mike McDaniel, but three of those losses came when quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was sidelined four games after being placed on injured reserve with a concussion. Tagovailoa has played in two games since his return, including last week’s 30-27 loss to the Buffalo Bills.

When Tagovailoa finds his rhythm, he can count on a number of weapons, including dual-threat running backs De’Von Achane and Raheem Mostert. Receiver Tyreek Hill could be a game-time decision due to a wrist injury. Jaylen Waddle and former Ram Odell Beckham Jr. are other talented targets. The Dolphins’ defense is led by former Rams cornerback Jalen Ramsey.
