Lions vs Rams: NFL AI Predictions - Betting Preview

September 8, 2024

The Lions host the Rams in a week one matchup. Learn how I leverage the power of AI and predictive models to make my AI Sports Betting Prediction.  

Preview of Rams vs Lions AI Pick 

The Los Angeles Rams and Detroit Lions will forever be tied due to the blockbuster trade that sent quarterback Matthew Stafford to LA. 

The other quarterback in the trade, Jared Goff, was shipped out of LA just three seasons after leading the Rams to a Super Bowl birth. 

Goff bested his old team last year in the playoffs. Will he make it two victories in a row? Find out in this AI-Powered NFL Prediction 

Rams Preview

LA comes into this season without one of their leaders, Aaron Donald, who decided to retire from football. Donald is arguably one of the best defensive tackles in history. It will take time to replace Donald but the Rams did make a commitment to defense in the draft. 

LA used five of their first six draft picks on the defensive side of the ball. This move by the Rams is a factor in my AI prediction. 

Three staples in LA are back for the Rams. Coach Sean McVay, QB Matthew Stafford, and WR Cooper Kupp are all returning. 

Those three future Hall of Famers led the Rams to a Super Bowl victory in 2021 and look to start the march to New Orleans versus Detroit. 

Lions Preview

Last year the Lions were the sexy pick to make the playoffs and they did not disappoint by winning their division for the first time in 30 years. 

Coach Dan Campbell, the king of the sound bite, coaches with an intensity that has this team playing harder than ever. 

After falling one game short of the Super Bowl, Detroit has its eyes set on New Orleans. 

QB Jared Goff has plenty of weapons to utilize. WR Jameson Williams, WR Amon-Ra St. Brown, RB David Montgomery, RB Jahmyr Gibbs, and TE Sam LaPorta will help Goff lead this offense. 

How I use Rithmm models for my Los Angeles vs Detroit AI Prediction

Rithmm is not a one-trick pony, they provide users with AI-powered betting models but now all the stats you need to make an informed decision! Let's look at how these teams finished the last five games of the 2023 season against the number. 

As you can see the Rams were 4-1 ATS over their last five games of the 2023 season. To include covering against Detroit in the playoffs. LA covering in Detroit last season is a factor in my AI NFL Prediction. 

Much of the same 4-1 ATS last five. With them failing to cover against these Rams. 

Both these teams will contend for a playoff spot, have great offenses, and are great against the number.

Let's see what my AI-powered models have to say about this matchup. 

Using Rithmm Models to Solidify My Prediction for Rams vs Lions AI Prediction

Let's talk about the current spread and totals. The Lions are 4.5-point favorites and the total is set at 52.5. 

Week one games can be difficult to bet but these teams are so closely matched that I’m leaning towards taking the points with the Rams. 

This Rithmm-built AI model agrees with my lean. The model predicts this will be a one-point game with the Rams coming out on top.
