Here’s a complete preview and prediction for Sunday’s game between the New York Giants and Los Angeles Rams.

After weeks of anguish, Odell Beckham Jr. has found his groove and the New York Giants picked up a huge win at home last week. This week, New York will travel to take on the Los Angeles Rams. The Rams won three of their first four games on the year, but they have now lost two in a row and a loss on Sunday against New York could cause some issues.

Keys to Victory

This is a game where it’s going to be tough for either team to pull away from the other. The Giants haven’t been able to get after the quarterback this season and the Rams’ defense wasn’t exactly lights out against Detroit last week.

Case Keenum was exceptional last week and perhaps played the best of his career. If the Rams can give him time to throw again, he could take advantage of the New York secondary. Kenny Britt has been stepping up and making big catches for Los Angeles.

The Giants are going to have to protect Eli Manning. Although not the best at it, they face a defensive line that will force Manning into making some risky decisions. The Rams need to get to him early and often.

Prediction

This is going to be a close game until the very end. After getting burned by Detroit last week, the Rams’ secondary is going to have to find an answer to stop Beckham Jr. on the field. He’s starting to get warmed up and he’s likely to continue that streak. Keenum will make some plays and the team that makes one less turnover wins this one.

Pick: Giants 26, Rams 24
