Very quietly, the Raiders have won three games in a row, and they are now just two games out of the playoffs with five games remaining. It's been a different story for the Rams, who have lost six in a row to drop to 3-9 on the season.
With Matthew Stafford on injured reserve, the Rams will need John Wolford to have a big game to pull the upset.

Will bettors think that result was a fluke or a sign of things to come for the Rams?'
The key number is in play, and the Raiders are hot. If you like Las Vegas, get in now.
