Rams-Falcons on Monday Night Football: Stafford’s MVP Bid and Adams’ Doubtful Status Shape Primetime

Oddsmakers install Los Angeles by roughly a touchdown with a high‑40s total.

Overview

  • Kickoff is 8:15 p.m. ET on ESPN from Mercedes‑Benz Stadium in Atlanta.
  • The Rams are 11-4, have clinched a playoff berth, and cannot win the NFC West or No. 1 seed, so this game factors into wild-card seeding.
  • Davante Adams was a non-participant in estimated practices and is listed doubtful, with reports pointing to expanded tight end roles for Colby Parkinson and Davis Allen.
  • Sportsbooks list Los Angeles around -7 to -8 with totals near 49–50, including 48.5–49.5 at some books late Monday.
  • Matthew Stafford is framed as the MVP frontrunner with projections calling for high passing volume, while Atlanta is 6-9 with two straight wins under Kirk Cousins but out of playoff contention.
