The New Orleans Saints will head to Inglewood to face the Los Angeles Rams at SoFi Stadium in Week 9 of the 2025 NFL season. To break it down, Evan Craig of <a href="https://www.turfshowtimes.com">Turf Show Times</a> joins us to preview Sunday afternoon’s matchup.
<img src="https://platform.canalstreetchronicles.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/56/2025/10/gettyimages-2196339248.jpg?quality=90&strip=all&crop=0,0,100,100" alt="" title="" data-has-syndication-rights="1" data-caption="NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA - DECEMBER 1: Puka Nacua #17 of the Los Angeles Rams is pursued by Alontae Taylor #1 of the New Orleans Saints during the second half of a game at the Caesars Superdome on December 1, 2024 in New Orleans, Louisiana. (Photo by Derick E. Hingle/Getty Images)" data-portal-copyright="" />
NJ: Now that Brandon Staley is the Saints’ defensive coordinator, what’s one positive and one negative you experienced with him during his time leading the Rams’ defense?
EC: Brandon Staley was at his best during his time with the Rams by putting his players in the best position to succeed. That is why his 2020 unit finished as the league’s top-ranked defense. Staley knew how to push all the right buttons, and the unit thrived because of it, which was much-needed given Jared Goff’s uneven performance in his final season in Hollywood. 
The main issue with Staley is that he often struggled to adapt during his Rams tenure. That much was evident against the Packers in the 2020 Divisional Round. Staley’s unit had absolutely no answers to what Aaron Rodgers and Matt LaFleur were throwing at them, and by the time the Rams attempted to make it a game, it was too late, as the damage was already done. Plus, his struggles in adapting his scheme to simpler terms was part of why things didn’t work out for him with the Chargers and 49ers.
NJ: Do you expect star WR Puka Nacua—who’s expected to return this week from his ankle injury—to handle his usual workload in his first game back? And if not, who’s stepped up alongside Davante Adams in the passing game?
EC: The Rams received good news as Puka Nacua is expected to return this week from the ankle injury that sidelined him for one and a half games. Now, will he handle his usual workload? That is hard to say, considering I expect the coaching staff to break him in gradually as he works his way back. This will be one of those games where he isn’t as productive as he’s typically been this season, but that’s okay since it’s about preserving his health for the long run, not for short-term gain.
Outside of Davante Adams, no other player has really stepped up in that WR3 spot. That’s been an issue all year, because the Rams’ offense has revolved around Matthew Stafford throwing to Puka and Adams. It’s worked wonders so far, but what happens when one of them misses time? We’ve already seen that with Adams forced to step in for Nacua, yet it’s not fair to put everything on one player. Either someone needs to step up, or the front office has to address this problem ahead of the trade deadline.
NJ: Through seven games, what would you say is the Rams’ biggest weakness—and what should New Orleans look to exploit?
EC: To me, the Rams’ biggest weakness is their inability to play a complete game. Against the Jaguars, the team finally managed to play their best game of the season, without Puka, mind you. Because of their slow starts, that has gotten them into trouble and caused them to be in slugfests with teams they should otherwise dominate. That was part of why they lost to the 49ers earlier this season, who were down several starters at the time. This is an extremely talented team that often gets in its own way more than it should.
A main weakness for the Saints to exploit is the secondary. L.A. has an excellent pair of safeties, yet their cornerback situation leaves a lot to be desired. The front office didn’t address the cornerback spot in the offseason, and while they’ve managed to mostly hold up, they’ve struggled once they face top-tier wideouts. A.J. Brown had his best game of the season against the Rams despite his lack of production to begin the year. With so many talented pass catchers in the NFC, this is a position the Rams must address if they’re planning any blockbuster moves at the deadline.
NJ: Who’s one under-the-radar Rams player that’s stood out this season and could be a difference-maker against the Saints?
EC: Linebacker Nate Landman has been the man in his first season with the Rams. L.A. signed him in free agency away from the Falcons, and he’s been everything the defense has needed in the middle of the field. Linebacker is one of those positions that the team doesn’t value, and the lack of a quality one has hurt them prior to this season. Landman leads the team in combined tackles and powered the Rams to wins over the Texans in the opener and the Ravens, a game where he amassed 17 tackles. The Rams had better lock him up long-term because he’s been a complete stud for one of the league’s best defenses.
NJ: According to <a href="https://sportsbook.fanduel.com/teams/nfl/new-orleans-saints/odds" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">FanDuel Sportsbook</a>, the Rams (-950) are currently 13.5-point favorites over the Saints (+640) in Sunday’s matchup; what is your final score prediction?
EC: With the Rams coming off a bye, this should have all the makings of a blowout, especially given how they played in their last game before the break. However, I have a strange feeling that this will be a closer than expected game. For some reason, L.A. has gotten into several ugly, low-scoring affairs over the last two seasons that have boggled the mind. The Ravens game a few weeks ago was a perfect example of that, as the Rams scored only 17 points on Baltimore’s horrid defense. Usually, L.A. has been on the winning end of those ugly bouts, so I have a feeling the Saints will hang around longer than they should, with the Rams pulling away late.
Rams 26 – Saints 16

The New Orleans Saints are projected as 14.5-point underdogs to the Los Angeles Rams at the time of writing this article. Although a quarterback change was announced recently to try and jump-start the black and gold offense, it is the defense of New Orleans that will face an uphill battle trying to contain a high-powered Rams’ offense.
Longtime NFL QB Matthew Stafford is in the midst of his 17th season in the NFL, and his fifth with the Rams. Although aging, he seems to do so like fine wine. Stafford is top-ten in passing yards, tied for first in touchdown passes, and has thrown just two interceptions this year.
Los Angeles plays a great style of complementary football. Not only do they have one of the better defenses in the league, but they also possess the sixth-highest-ranked offense to this point in the season. The Rams average more than 360 yards per contest while putting up a staggering 25 points.
Stafford’s favorite pass catcher, Puka Nacua, is expected to make his return to the football field when the Rams take on New Orleans. The star wide receiver had missed one game in Week 7 with an ankle injury after exiting the previous weekend early. After Los Angeles’ bye, he is set to make an impactful return and push the Rams towards the playoffs.
Despite missing a game, Nacua still ranks third across the league in receptions and fourth in yards. 
The Saints’ defense will certainly have its hands full with all of the weapons Los Angeles has. Defensive anchor Demario Davis already leads New Orleans in tackles by a wide margin, but his total is sure to grow after Sunday’s duel. While he does not have any sacks as of now, Davis has 20 more tackles than any other Saint.
Since starting their three-game losing streak, New Orleans has lost the turnover battle by a combined 9-2. Just two takeaways over the past three games is not going to earn your struggling offense much of an opportunity to put points on the board.
While New Orleans matches up well with Los Angeles defensively, the Saints have not played up to the standards of their top-15 ranking on that side of the ball. Brandon Staley’s group is giving up more than 26 points per game. 
Unfortunately for members of Who Dat Nation, I do not believe the bleeding will stop in Week 9. Los Angeles is a heavy favorite and for good reason. New Orleans is reeling fast, and the bye week cannot come fast enough. I want to see a win and great effort from the team as much as the next fan, but I’m feeling a little pessimistic about this upcoming game.

This week, the New Orleans Saints will head to SoFi Stadium to face the Los Angeles Rams in Week 9 of the 2025 NFL season. After finally getting more involved this past week against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the player to watch is WR Devaughn Vele.
<img src="https://platform.canalstreetchronicles.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/56/2025/10/gettyimages-2241049420.jpg?quality=90&strip=all&crop=0.0045520757465383,0,99.990895848507,100" alt="" title="" data-has-syndication-rights="1" data-caption="NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA - OCTOBER 12: Devaughn Vele #14 of the New Orleans Saints gestures during the NFL 2025 game against the New England Patriots at Caesars Superdome on October 12, 2025 in New Orleans, Louisiana."" (Photo by Kenneth Richmond/Getty Images)" data-portal-copyright="" />
Kellen Moore recently spoke about not getting Devaughn Vele on the field as much as they’d like over the last couple of weeks. He noted how much the 27-year-old deserves the opportunity—and that’s been evident, considering he entered the game against the Buccaneers with just five targets, which went for three first down receptions, a touchdown and a drawn defensive pass interference. So it’s clear Vele makes an impact when the ball is thrown his way.
On Sunday against Tampa Bay, Vele logged a season-high 37 snaps (51%) with five targets, including a first down on his lone reception of the day. I’d like to see his role continue to increase against the Rams, whose cornerback room has been vulnerable at times this season—prompting them to trade for former Tennessee Titans CB Roger McCreary earlier this week.

The New Orleans Saints face the Los Angeles Rams this Halloween week. The big story of the game for the Saints is the first career start at quarterback for rookie second-round pick Tyler Shough, and deservedly so, but the Saints’ futility against the Rams in Los Angeles looms even larger. The Saints could certainly call the “Rams House” their own personal house of horrors, as the Saints have not defeated the Rams in Los Angeles in a very long time. How long? Well, the Saints haven’t defeated the Rams in Los Angeles since December 1994, just as Dumb and Dumber was about to hit theaters and Mariah Carey’s “All I Want For Christmas Is You” was taking over the holiday for the very first time. Let’s hope the Saints give out more treats than tricks this holiday week.
Let’s take a look at this and all of the exciting NFL action in Week 9 this Halloween.
Last week, I went 8-5
I told you so: Ravens over Bears!
What do I know: Giants over Eagles?
***
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="wU3E5K">WEEK 9</h2>
Thursday, October 30th – Thursday Night Football
<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="GWunYf">Ravens (2-5) at Dolphins (2-6)</h3>
This battle of the AFC’s most disappointing teams will be won by the Baltimore offense. Baltimore wins 31-16.
Pick: Ravens
***
Sunday, November 2nd – Early Games
<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="BHjDmQ">Bears (4-3) at Bengals (3-5)</h3>
Cincy will find it hard to recover from their stunning loss to the Jets last week. Chicago wins 27-12.
Pick: Bears
***
<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="CAiXYb">Vikings (3-4) at Lions (5-2) </h3>
Minnesota’s offense simply won’t be able to keep up with Detroit’s high-octane offense. Detroit wins 31-19.
Pick: Lions
***
<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="mdJG8I">Panthers (4-4) at Packers (5-1-1)</h3>
Green Bay will get a big lead early and never look back. Green Bay wins 33-23.
Pick: Packers
***
<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="1gfdpd">Broncos (6-2) at Texans (3-4)</h3>
The resurgent Texans will keep this one close at home, but Denver finds a way to win this defensive showdown in the closing moments. Denver wins 18-16.
Pick: Broncos
***
<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="GKfOTR">Falcons (3-4) at Patriots(6-2)</h3>
Well, at least it won’t be 23-3, right? New England wins 24-7.
Pick: Patriots
***
<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="zjM88X">49ers (5-3) at Giants (2-6)</h3>
San Francisco has been on a roller coaster since Week 3, but their ride will get a little calmer this week. San Francisco wins 33-10.
Pick: 49ers
***
<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="tpMTS1">Colts (7-1) at Steelers (4-3)</h3>
Pittsburgh has hit a rough patch in recent weeks, and it will only get rougher against the best team in the AFC. Indianapolis wins 25-13.
Pick: Colts
***
<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="TtUQr6">Chargers (5-3) at Titans (1-7)</h3>
The Chargers have been a bit erratic since the start of October, but they have beat the teams that they should, and they will do so again here. Los Angeles wins 23-19.
Pick: Chargers
***
Sunday, November 2nd – Late Games
<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="M3mxO7">Jaguars (4-3) at Raiders (2-5)</h3>
Jacksonville will handle the anemic Raiders offense in Vegas. Jacksonville wins 21-18.
Pick: Jaguars
***
<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h0yL6b">Chiefs (4-3) at Bills (5-2) – Game of the Week</h3>
This almost certainly feels like a playoff preview once again, and should play out like a playoff game itself. Both teams appear to be back on track after some rough patches, and the winner here puts themselves in great position going into the second half of the season. KC has had the best of Buffalo in the playoffs, but these aren’t the playoffs. Buffalo wins 27-25.
Pick: Bills
***
<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="N3KXyB">Saints (1-7) at Rams (5-2)</h3>
You would be hard-pressed to find a tougher scenario to begin the Tyler Shough era in New Orleans. Facing a Super Bowl contender, one of the NFC’s elite, on the road. Now that is quite a tall test for a test for a rookie quarterback making his first full start in the NFL. The deadly Rams pass rush will be too much for the Saints offensive line to handle, making Shough’s debut a game to forget. It’s possible that facing the toughest challenge of the season right away is just what Shough needs, and we all hope it is, but this game will be a decisive win for the Rams regardless. Los Angeles wins 28-12.
Pick: Rams
***
Sunday Night Football
<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="MElpGo">Seahawks (5-2) at Commanders (3-5)</h3>
Seattle has quietly been one of the better teams in the NFC, while Washington has been lost without Jayden Daniels. Both teams will keep their current streaks going. Seattle wins 21-19.
Pick: Seahawks
***
Monday, November 3rd – Monday Night Football
<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="qrKtaA">Cardinals (2-5) at Cowboys (3-4-1)</h3>
The Dallas offense has been rolling and will continue to roll over Arizona. Dallas wins 27-19.
Pick: Cowboys
***
There you have it, Week 9 snd Halloween is here. Leave us your picks, comments, and insight below!

“It wasn’t shocking to see the Saints make a QB switch, even if <a href="https://www.nfl.com/players/spencer-rattler/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Spencer Rattler</a> wasn’t truly struggling at the time <a href="https://www.nfl.com/news/saints-bench-qb-spencer-rattler-in-third-quarter-vs-buccaneers-tyler-shough-enters-game">he came out</a> of Sunday’s <a href="https://www.nfl.com/games/buccaneers-at-saints-2025-reg-8?tab=recap">defeat</a>. I mentioned the possibility <a href="https://www.nfl.com/news/nfl-power-rankings-week-8-2025-nfl-season">last week</a> because it just felt like they couldn’t keep losing and not eventually find out whether <a href="https://www.nfl.com/players/tyler-shough/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tyler Shough</a> can play or not. Shough’s results against the Bucs didn’t reveal much. The rookie was slightly less efficient than Rattler, but it would surprise me if New Orleans didn’t keep it going with Shough, despite the pair of tough road games coming up — perhaps Shough will get the ball for the back half of the season. How he plays will have a significant impact on the Saints’ QB draft plans, and they’re currently set to get a very high pick.
EDITOR’S UPDATE: After publishing on Tuesday, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported that second-round pick <a href="https://www.nfl.com/news/saints-to-start-rookie-qb-tyler-shough-over-spencer-rattler-vs-rams-in-week-9">Tyler Shough will make his first career start</a> on Sunday against the Rams.“
</blockquote>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Fox Sports – 30 (-2)</h3>
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
“It’s Tyler Shough time in New Orleans — finally — after the Saints benched Spencer Rattler in the midst of their loss to the banged-up Bucs. Shough wasn’t any better, but he’s the future now.“
</blockquote>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Bleacher Report – 30 (-1)</h3>
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
“In Week 8, the New Orleans Saints benched Spencer Rattler for Tyler Shough, which creates uncertainty at the quarterback position. 
At 1-7, New Orleans should focus on developing its young talent. Rattler is only 25, but Shough, a 2025 second-rounder, may have more untapped potential. 
Regardless of who starts, the Saints will have a top-five pick in the 2026 draft. They’re not making out of the basement of our power rankings any time soon. — Moton”
</blockquote>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">CBS Sports – 30 (=)</h3>
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
“They benched Spencer Rattler in the loss to the Bucs. So it might mean it’s Tyler Shough time the rest of the way.”
</blockquote>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Sports Illustrated – 29 (-2)</h3>
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
“A quarterback change did little to juice the Saints, who have gone from interesting and plucky to sort of moribund again—and rife for conversation about how they’ll handle the upcoming trade deadline. ”
