The Raiders (5-7) have gotten into the playoff race by reeling off three consecutive victories, putting them two games behind the New York Jets for the final wild-card spot in the AFC with five to play.

Josh Jacobs has been on a tear, rushing for an average of 160.7 yards during Las Vegas' three-game winning streak. The 24-year-old leads the NFL with a career-high 1,303 yards and is on pace to break the Raiders' single-season record of 1,759 set in 1985 by Marcus Allen. Jacobs also is first in the league in rushing first downs (72) and tackles avoided (88).
Another player in line to set a new franchise record is Davante Adams, who is fourth in the NFL with 1,176 receiving yards. The 29-year-old wideout needs only 233 yards to eclipse Tim Brown's mark of 1,408 set in 1997. Since Week 9, Adams tops the league in targets (66) and receiving yards (664) and is tied for first in receptions (41) and touchdown catches (7). See which team to pick here.
Why the Rams can coverWith Matthew Stafford (spinal cord) on injured reserve and backup John Wolford (neck) questionable, there's a shot the start could go to the newly acquired Baker Mayfield, the first overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft who was claimed off waivers from Carolina on Tuesday.
Whomever gets the call likely will be looking in the direction of Tyler Higbee, who, with Cooper Kupp on IR following ankle surgery, is one of Los Angeles' top receiving options. The 29-year-old tight end is second on the team behind Kupp in targets (78), catches (50) and receiving yards (444). Brandon Powell led the Rams with four receptions in last week's 27-23 loss to Seattle, while fellow wideout Tutu Atwell topped the club with 48 yards on two catches. See which team to pick here.
