Los Angeles Rams: Three reasons why the LA Rams will go 16-0
By Jason Reed
1. The Los Angeles Rams are home in most tough matchups
The Los Angeles Rams were the recipients of a very generous schedule this season, which will be a huge reason why the team will do undefeated. Despite having four road games in the first eight weeks of the season, the Rams do not have to travel far East for quite some time.
The farthest East the team has gone was in Denver last week to face the Broncos. Aside from that, the Rams went to Oakland, Seattle and will head to San Francisco this week. The first far road game is in New Orleans against the Saints.
That game is the Rams’ biggest test at finishing 16-0 as the team has home field advantage in other notable matchups to close the year. Aaron Rodgers and the Packers have to come to LA, as do the Eagles.
The Rams are acting as the “home team” in the Mexico City game against the Chiefs and do have to travel significantly less than KC. Those are the four tough games remaining and the Rams will have the advantage in three of them.
Meanwhile, the team is on the road against the Saints, Lions, Bears and Cardinals. And while the idea of Chicago in December is worrisome, the Rams proved in Denver that the team can play in cold weather.
