The Rams have the always tough cross country trek for an early game on Sunday, but Los Angeles (8-7) also has momentum on their side as winners of five of their last six (with the lone loss being in OT at Baltimore). It doesn’t hurt the Rams chances that the Giants (5-10) have lost two in a row and are in the midst of yet another starting QB change.
Before Betting on Week 17 L.A. Rams vs New York Giants
L.A. can clinch a playoff spot with a win in New York and a Seahawks loss, something that looked way out of the realm of possibility after a 3-6 start. The Rams have not only found their passing game again, their defense has stepped up in holding five of the last seven opponents to 20 points or less.
The Giants have the 28th ranked passing defense in the NFL and have given up a 300 yard passing game to Jalen Hurts and a 3 TD pass outing to Derek Carr the last two games. Rams QB Matthew Stafford should be in line for a huge afternoon considering he has 14 TDs to 1 INT over the last five games. Puka Nacua caught 9 balls for 164 yards last week against the Saints and is closing in on both the rookie reception and yardage records.
Tommy DeVito gave the Giants a spark as a local kid and an undrafted rookie, leading the Giants to three straight wins, but anybody who has watched the NFL knew that likely wasn’t sustainable. DeVito was benched at halftime in last week’s loss to the Eagles and replaced by Tyrod Taylor, who may give New York the better chance to win simply because of his experience and mobility.

2023 Week 17 Rams vs New York Prediction & Pick
Taylor will have the Giants offense looking better in this game, but it’s also a tough test against an improving Rams defense. The Los Angeles offense should be able to do what they want in this game, both on the ground and through the air.
