Baltimore Ravens vs. Los Angeles Rams: 5 Bold predictions, Week 12
4. Kupp catches 8+ passes for over 120 yards
Through 10 games, Cooper Kupp is the leading receiver for the Los Angeles Rams, posting 61 receptions for 845 yards and five touchdowns on the year. He’s also been maddeningly inconsistent this season as well, posting five games of 100 or more yards and one 200-yard day with five games of 53 receiving yards or fewer, including a goose-egg in Week 10. So what gives?

Put simply, Kupp thrives when both Robert Woods and Brandin Cooks are on the field with him. The attention that outside corners have to pay to those players allows him to showcase his talent freely out of the slot. And while Marcus Peters and Jimmy Smith likely lock things down on the outside, Kupp will be open for Goff and be perhaps his only reliable target in this matchup, which will result in a huge day for the Eastern Washington product.
3. Peters gets a pick against former team
Since the Rams traded Marcus Peters to the Baltimore Ravens head of the deadline, the cornerback has returned to his All-Pro form. In just four games donning a purple and black jersey, the former Ram and Chief has already secured two interceptions — both of which he returned for a touchdown — and has four total passes defensed.
With the way that Goff has been playing as of late, throwing three interceptions in his last two games, Peters is going to come up big again. Likely covering one of Robert Woods or Brandin Cooks on the outside, the Washington Huskies product is going to showcase his playmaking by picking off his former quarterback at least once in this game. And while we won’t predict he takes it to the house, it’s not something to rule out either.
