Los Angeles Rams: Predicting the Rams’ final win total
By Hil Lopez
Games 5-8
Week 5 will be an interesting one with the Rams visiting the divisional rival Seahawks in Seattle. They will be seeing Russell Wilson and his potent run-first offense. However, the Rams should be well prepared to handle them with Aaron Donald leading the way with pressure. Rams will win, but not convincingly.
Winner: Rams
The 49ers will visit the Rams in Week 6. They have upgraded their defense with acquisition of Dee Ford and Nick Bosa this off-season. However, their offense has major questions as they do not have a proven wide receiver on the roster. The Rams boast three proven ones and a stud in running back Todd Gurley. They will defeat the 49ers quite handily.
Winner: Rams
Atlanta will be playing host to the Rams in Week 7. They have an offense that can match the Rams with wide receiver Julio Jones, second-year receiver Calvin Ridley and veteran Mohamed Sanu, with QB Matt Ryan leading the way. They also have Devonta Freeman to counter Todd Gurley. The Rams will play valiantly, but lose at the end.
Winner: Falcons
Cincinnati will head over to the LA Coliseum in Week 8. They have a rising running back star in Joe Mixon and young and upcoming wide receiver in Tyler Boyd. They are still led by QB Andy Dalton, but they are playing behind a porous offensive line. Aaron Donald will shred their offensive line and have the most sacks for his season in this game.
Winner: Rams
