Preview: New York Giants at Los Angeles Rams projection

New York Giants visit Los Angeles Rams in NFL on Monday, September 21, 2026. Our projection reads NYG 20 – LAR 28, a 8-point edge to Los Angeles Rams. DraftKings has LAR -7 with a total of 48.5.

This is week 2 of the 2026 regular season. 1 completed week of this regular season are blended with last season's results, adjusted for opponent quality and home field, across 288 regular-season games. Preseason games are excluded entirely, and the DraftKings number posted before kickoff carries 65% of the projection because our own sample is rated moderate.

The pre-kickoff availability record was 100% complete and is reflected in the projection. Our published pick is Los Angeles Rams -7 at the draftkings number recorded 2026-09-15T23:07:34+00:00, rated low by cs-nfl-2026.09.2, our preseason-free model, which is still being measured game by game against our published record. That locked number and this projection are what the result is graded against; neither is ever rewritten.
