Los Angeles Rams Week 1 Matchup

On Sunday, September 7, 2025, the Los Angeles Rams will host the Houston Texans at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. Kickoff is set for 4:25 p.m. ET with television coverage on CBS. NFL betting odds opened with the Rams as -2.5 favorites, and the line has held steady with no significant spread or total movement. The game total sits at 44.5 points, indicating the market sees balance between the Rams’ defense and Houston’s potential offensive improvement.

The storyline for bettors centers on the pass rush. Los Angeles boasts a defensive front that consistently creates pressure, and Week 1 presents a favorable matchup against a Texans offensive line viewed as vulnerable. NFL point spread bettors weighing this contest will note that market stability reflects confidence in Los Angeles’ ability to cover as small home favorites.

Injuries are worth monitoring. Stafford is listed as questionable, as is rookie edge rusher Jared Verse. Their availability could swing perception of the NFL odds. A healthy Stafford allows McVay to maximize the passing game, while Verse’s presence would add another weapon to a defense already capable of dictating the line of scrimmage.

Trends provide mixed signals. The Rams are 6–4 straight up and 5–5 against the spread in their last ten home games, while totals bettors have seen Overs hit in four of their last six. Against AFC opponents, the Rams are 6–4 straight up and 5–5 ATS in their last ten, but the Under has cashed in seven of those matchups. Bettors making NFL picks on the total will have to weigh Houston’s offensive ceiling against Los Angeles’ ability to control tempo at SoFi.

Los Angeles Rams 2024-25 Recap

The Rams’ 2024 season was a return to relevance. They finished 10–7 straight up, 9–8 against the spread, and 8–9 to the Over/Under, rewarding NFL bettors who trusted them in close matchups. Los Angeles exceeded its win total expectations and reestablished itself as a playoff-caliber team.

Several bust-out players drove this success. Rookie wideout Puka Nacua built on his debut year by establishing himself as a top-tier receiver, consistently producing at a level that kept the Rams’ passing game dynamic. On defense, linebacker Byron Young, Verse, and Braden Fiske all emerged as a key contributors, pairing with veterans to elevate the pass rush and create havoc for opposing quarterbacks. These breakout seasons balanced the roster and gave McVay more flexibility on both sides of the ball.

Stafford remained the anchor of the offense, delivering veteran poise even as injuries limited his availability at times. The ground game provided complementary balance, but it was the development of young playmakers like Nacua and Kyren Williams that made the difference for NFL betting markets. Los Angeles covered spreads in tight contests, and totals bettors had to pick their spots as Overs and Unders split almost evenly.

From a wagering perspective, the Rams were one of the more reliable teams to back ATS. Their 9–8 ATS record reflected resilience and the ability to hang tough even against stronger opponents. Totals, meanwhile, leaned slightly Under, a shift from McVay’s earlier tenure when Overs were more common. For NFL spread picks and totals betting, Los Angeles delivered enough consistency to remain a trustworthy option.

Looking ahead, the Rams’ 9.5-win total in the NFL futures market suggests expectations of another strong season. With Stafford healthy, Nacua blossoming into a star, and the defense strengthened by breakout players, Los Angeles enters 2025 positioned as a team bettors can trust. Week 1 against Houston offers an early test, and the NFL lines suggest the Rams are expected to handle business at home.

2025 Los Angeles Rams Schedule, Results & Record

The two big moves the Rams made this offseason were keeping Stafford and signing Adams. The star wideout is not washed yet, and he even recorded 1,000 receiving yards last season for the fifth straight year. Gamblers believe Adams is going to surprise some people in 2025. Re-signing Alaric Jackson was important for the offensive line, as was stealing Poona Ford from the Los Angeles Chargers. He's coming off a career year and will just add to the fun, young defensive front we watched last year. The Rams are gearing up for a run, and it wouldn't surprise me if they trade for Jalen Ramsey in the near future. Someone else who could play a major role immediately is the new tight end Terrance Ferguson, who should be a great fit in Sean McVay's scheme.

Los Angeles Rams Past Seasons (2000)

This is the Rams' second stint in Los Angeles, where they originally played from 1946 through 1994 before moving to St. Louis, where they operated from 1995 through 2015.

In 1999, the Rams won their first Super Bowl championship in franchise history. And then, in 2021, the Rams were Super Bowl champions for the second time. Most important of all, it was the first Super Bowl title for the Los Angeles version of the Rams.

The Rams have a rich history that began in Cleveland in 1937. They moved to Los Angeles for their first stint in 1946. From 1949 through 1955, they won one NFL championship and played in three other championship games.

In the late 1960s, the Rams became a power in the NFL during its golden age. The famed Fearsome Foursome was one of the most dominant defensive lines in NFL history. And quarterback Roman Gabriel was a matinee idol.

Head coach George Allen put the Rams into the playoffs in 1967 and 1969. But Los Angeles flopped in the divisional round both times. Los Angeles eventually fired Allen despite being in the hunt every year he was in charge.

Check Knox and John Robinson were consistent winners as head coaches of the Rams. But a Super Bowl title proved elusive.

Since returning to LA in 2016, the Rams have been consistent winners, with four playoff berths in the last five years. In 2020, the Rams moved into SoFi Stadium, the most spectacular and modern stadium of its kind in the world.
