We are closing out the Monday Night Football regular season slate with a matchup that, on paper, looks like a total mismatch. But this is the NFL, and weird things happen in prime time—especially when playoff seeding is on the line. The Los Angeles Rams (11-4) head to Atlanta to take on the eliminated Falcons (6-9). For Atlanta, it’s about pride, draft positioning, and maybe playing spoiler. Let’s dive into our Rams vs Falcons predictions, odds, and we’ll definitely talk about some MNF player prop bets.

Rams-Falcons Predictions & MNF Preview (12/29)
The Rams’ offense has been going nuclear this season. They rank No. 1 in total offense and 2nd in scoring (30.5 PPG). Matthew Stafford is playing like an MVP candidate at age 37, leading the league with 40 touchdown passes and throwing for 4,179 yards.
His connection with Puka Nacua is undeniable. Nacua is second in the NFL with 1,592 receiving yards, and even with Davante Adams (Doubtful – Hamstring) likely out tonight, the Rams simply have too many weapons.
Kyren Williams has been solid, ranking 10th in the league with 1,100 rushing yards. Fellow tailback Blake Corum has had a strong second half, which gives LAR one of the best one-two backfield punches in football.
Rams vs Falcons Odds
The Falcons’ season hasn’t gone to plan, but don’t blame Bijan Robinson. He’s fifth in the league with 1,250 rushing yards and remains one of the most explosive players in football. The problem? The rest of the offense has sputtered. Kirk Cousins and the passing attack rank just 20th in yards per game, and they struggle to finish drives.
- Spread: Rams -7
- Moneyline: Falcons+290
- Game Total (Over/Under): 49.5
They face a Rams defense that has quietly become elite, allowing just 19.9 points per game (7th best). Rookie sensation Jared Verse and that defensive front should be able to pressure Cousins all night, especially if Atlanta gets into obvious passing situations.

NFL Expert Picks: Rams vs Falcons Best Player Prop Bets
There is plenty of firepower in MNF’s Rams vs. Falcons matchup! Here are some of the most popular props on Underdog Fantasy for Monday Night Football:
NFL Player Prop Bet: Puka Nacua > 19.95 Fantasy Points
Nacua’s usage has been through the roof, especially without Davante Adams. It’s incredible to watch play-calling guru Sean McVay find ways to scheme Nacua open when everyone on the planet knows where the ball is going. More than 500+ receiving yards and 28 targets in his last three games? Sign me up.
NFL Player Prop Bet: Kyle Pitts < 7.5 Targets
Drake London returned last week and played nearly 70% of Atlanta’s snaps. There just might not be enough football to go around now, with Bijan Robinson and Darnell Mooney also in the fold.
