    Rams open as 5.5 to 6 point favorites on the road against the Commanders.

    A.I
    Commanders.
    Pass Rush Coming Alive: The front line terrorized Philly, racking up 5 sacks (from five different defenders, including Dorance Armstrong and Charles Omenihu) and forcing crucial turnovers

    • Extraordinarily Sloppy Starts: The Commanders look consistently discombobulated early in games. Against Philly, they fell into an immediate 10-0 hole due to miscommunications and a lack of focus.
    • Severe Penalty Problems: Yellow flags continue to stall the team’s progress. They lost 70 yards on 9 penalties in Week 8 alone, a recurring issue that Dan Quinn has struggled to clean up.
    • A Withered Receiving Corps: With star WR1 Terry McLaurin out for the season on IR, Daniels is incredibly thin on weapons. While Stefon Diggs and Treylon Burks made big plays on Sunday night, the team severely lacks depth and consistency at wide receiver.
    • Lack of a Ground Game: The rushing offense outside of Jayden Daniels has failed to scare opponents. Leading back Jacory Croskey-Merritt is on IR, forcing a heavy workload onto veteran Austin Ekeler and Rachaad White.
    • Coaching Disconnect: Prior to the bye week, analysts and insider reports noted a major schematic “disconnect” between new offensive coordinator David Blough, Daronte Jones, and the roster. Game management and soft defensive coverages have previously blown late leads

    Okay those are fair criticisms of the Rams.

    But tell us about the Washington Commanders. What’s up with them?
