The Rams are traveling to San Francisco with playoff seeding on the line. They've decided to take gambles in starting Carson Wentz and sitting a majority of their core in Aaron Donald, Ernest Jones, Matthew Stafford, Cooper Kupp and Kyren Williams (while SF is presumably electing to do something similar, with Purdy & McCaffrey already out). They're also somewhat dependent on the Bears finding a way to beat Green Bay in Lambeau Field, because it then guarantees the Rams are locked into the...

The Rams are officially PLAYOFF BOUND! All thanks to an incredible foundation that was introduced back in the summer by Sean McVay, as well as Les Snead working his magic late in the draft to find future core pieces for this roster. What comes next is a mystery as the Rams have already exceeded our expectations for the season. But, no matter how this season ends, there is ZERO doubt that the Rams will be hungry for another Super Bowl run in 2024. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy...

The Rams are currently a heavy favorite to make the playoffs prior to Sunday's game, and just need to handle their own business (get a win on the road) and hope Seattle loses in order to clinch a playoff spot. No game in this league is every easy, though as the Eagles learned the hard way on Christmas when Tyrod Taylor had an opportunity to tie the game in the Giants' final possession. Regardless, with the Rams playing as well as they are, its really difficult to find reasons why they...

The Rams took care of business in their biggest game of the season. On Thursday night, they played host to the New Orleans Saints (now 7-8) in what was essentially a playoff game. The score may have been somewhat close in the end, but the Rams were pretty much dominant throughout the entire game. They're plenty poised to make some noise in the final weeks of the season/early in the playoffs, on the backs of their weight-bearing walls, as well as their draft class and veteran free agents. See...

The Rams are in the process of preparing for their biggest game of the season. On Thursday night, they'll play host to the New Orleans Saints (also 7-7) with massive playoff implications on the line. If the Rams win, their playoff odds skyrocket and their chances of being the 6th or 7th seed in the NFC are very much real. A loss makes the road to the post-season MUCH more difficult, as well as having to face the 49ers in the final week of the season. But, with the Eagles' recent loss, that...

It's no secret, the Rams are making a legitimate playoff push at 7-7 with 3 games to play. The relationship with Matthew Stafford and Cooper Kupp continues to grow stronger, as Matthew Stafford is clearly playing some of the best football in his career. Kyren Williams (despite the two fumbles) is as effective in this offense as Todd Gurley once was. The Rams' offensive line is also doing it's job and staying healthy for the majority. They're truly now executing on their plan set in April,...

The Rams (6-7) are playing host as 7-point favorites to the Washington Commanders (4-9), who are coming off a bye (the Rams’ 4th opponent this season that’s coming off a bye) and have given up an average of 38 points in four straight losses. The once .500 Washington Commanders lost EDGE help at the deadline in Montez Sweat (in Chicago) and Chase Young (in San Francisco) on Oct. 31st and have gone 1-4 since with their only win being over the Patriots back in early November. This game is...

The Rams (now 6-7) had put together an impressive streak of 3 straight wins against Seattle, Arizona and Cleveland to get back to .500. But, the Ravens proved they were a tougher task, and a walk-off win on a punt return (with an obvious missed block in the back call) ended up being the difference. It’s important to not get caught up on the final result of this game, because the Rams are playing some really good football right now. And with the Commanders, Saints and Giants on deck, there’s...

The Rams' offense took roughly 9-12 weeks to come together, and their inexperienced defense is starting to follow suit. They've also (finally) solidified the kicker position for a potential post-season run. They're now facing arguably their toughest match-up yet (the Baltimore Ravens), with the Ravens front-7 playing as well as any in football right now. How can the Rams put together a gameplan strong enough to remain within 1 possession in the 4th quarter? From there (if they can execute),...

The Rams have now won 3 straight games, leaving them very much in playoff contention as the current 8 seed in the NFC. Let's not kid ourselves: this team has been really impressive and is playing complimentary football over the last three weeks for the first time this season. The tanking narrative is starting to slip away, and Rams fans are starting to focus-in on the final stretch of the season. The question is: can this current roster actually pull off a playoff push, or will they fall...

The Rams are in a position to grab the 7th seed in the NFC and win three games in a row for the first time this season. The Cleveland Browns and (potentially) former Super Bowl MVP Joe Flacco are in their way, as the Rams are going to have to be smart with how they approach their gameplan if they want to come away with a win. The best way would be to win consistently at the line of scrimmage, and negate the pressure that Myles Garrett and ZaDarius Smith cause in the pass game by heavily...

Was this as close to a perfect game as this Rams roster can play? We're thinking it was. Not only have the Rams now won back-to-back games for the first time this season (in dominant fashion, hanging 37 points on the Cardinals), but they’ve now swept a division rival in back-to-back weeks. Led by Kyren Williams' heroic effort, it’s the first time they’ve won back-to-back games since weeks 2 and 3 of last year. Is this Rams team poised to make a bit of a run come prepared to play two AFC teams...

The Rams are heading into Arizona as underdogs (as it stands right now), which is interesting considering the Rams have handled Arizona the last 8 times they’ve traveled there. But, this Arizona Cardinals team in Week 12 is completely different from the team we saw in Week 6, primarily due to players like Kyler Murray, James Conner, and Budda Baker. When we talked through the Arizona Cardinals in Week 6 and their inability to move the ball in the second half, we knew they’d give us a better...

The Rams haven't played good football over the last 5-6 weeks. There's no way around it. But for some reason, they always seem to do just enough against the Seattle Seahawks. Sure, a ton of their offense was aided by the 130 penalty yards Seattle committed. But, that doesn't mean the Rams stepped on the gas (offensively and defensively) in the 2nd half when they were down their Super Bowl MVP and Triple Crown winner. This win puts the Rams back "in the hunt" which may be controversial to the...

The Rams are a pretty confusing team right now. Are we a solid football team if we string together a few wins over the next few weeks? Do we NOT want to win, in hopes our draft slot is better? There's a lot of controversy surrounding what the Rams will or won't do to end this season. All of that aside, it's not too much to ask if you want to watch them play competitive football against a team they've historically played well against (under Sean McVay). They're getting very important players...

The Rams made a few roster moves ahead of their bye week, inclusive of: waiving Brett Rypien, Dresser Winn, Myles Gaskin and signing former 2nd overall pick Carson Wentz. Wentz has had some insane success and some major downfalls in just 7 short seasons — with plenty of controversy tied to him. But nothing that should stop McVay from getting the best out of him. And because it’s a bye week, we leaned in on Nick’s Picks in hopes to make the fans some money this weekend. See...

The Rams fell to the Green Bay Packers in dramatic fashion, which makes for embarrassing losses in back-to-back weeks. Fans are angry because they felt like they were originally sold optimism by the coaching staff on the 2023 season when in reality, they all somewhat knew that the Rams were lacking in the talent department (with the exception of their three “weight bearing walls”). But to struggle this badly after showing SOME promise in the first few weeks of the season is difficult to...

The Rams were silent at the trade deadline yesterday and signed Dresser Winn as insurance as they prepare to travel to Lambeau to take on the Green Bay Packers. If Matthew Stafford is healthy enough to play in this game (is currently dealing with a gnarly UCL sprain), then the Rams have a legitimate chance to go into their bye week with a 4-5 record, and a real opportunity to re-set themselves in preparation for a tricky back-half schedule and 2 divisional opponents right out the gate. Let's...

The Rams were flat out dominated by the Dallas Cowboys, 43-20 with the Cowboys fresh off their bye week, in their home stadium. Yes, the Rams have had some tough breaks when it comes to the schedule. But, when it comes to execution and situational play-calling, it feels like the Rams simply need to be better. And when it's so poor to the point it puts your starting quarterback (and 1 of 3 "weight bearing walls") in jeopardy of serious injury, it's time to start re-considering the game-plan....

The Rams are in a difficult spot: getting ready for the 4-2 Dallas Cowboys, who are coming off of a bye: very similar to what we had to deal with against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Regardless, the Rams have a few mistakes they can correct in this game that we believe could very much propel them to victory. Simple offensive tweaks (stay with the quick game, stay balanced) and defensively finding ways to generate pressure on Dak Prescott, who has sat back comfortably in the pocket this season. A...

It felt like the Rams had a legitimate opportunity to come away with a win today at SoFi Stadium, where the Rams hosted the now 4-2 Pittsburgh Steelers. Due to a few mistakes down the stretch and very obvious deficiencies on Special Teams, the Rams weren't able to capitalize on as many opportunities as the Steelers did. Missed FG's put Pittsburgh in favorable field position. Penalties and question marks in our young secondary led to big (late) conversions. The officiating was questionable at...

The Rams are in unfamiliar territory: they're the favorite in back-to-back weeks with the Steelers headed to SoFi this weekend. It doesn't come without a price... the Rams lost Derion Kendrick to an arrest and Kyren Williams + Ronnie Rivers to injury. They turned that right around by signing Darrell Henderson and Myles Gaskin to fill the vacancy and stand by the comments of the offensive line (after Sunday's win). Aside of that, the Steelers are on a bit of a rollercoaster: winning 3 of 5...

This was a must-win game, and the Rams got the job done against the Arizona Cardinals at home to improve to 3-3. As we work through this episode, we'll chat through the mysterious scripted series to start the game, the "tale of two halves"/McVay's big "adjustment", Cooper Kupp being back at full speed, Kyren Williams' incredible 2nd half (+ injury news), the offensive line being focal to Sean McVay at halftime, the defenses second-half adjusment that created just enough pressure to win, and...

The Rams are in a must-win situation on Sunday, with both James Conner and Budda Baker out of the line-up for Arizona. The Cardinals' defense is giving up 350 yards per game and is ranked towards the bottom in defending against the pass AND defending against the run. So, it should be an easy win for the Rams as 6.5pt favorites at home, right? Well, the Arizona Cardinals are playing better than expected, with a win against Dallas and hard-fought back-to-back weeks against the 49ers and the...

In a weekend that united the whole Rams Brothers team, the Rams fell to the Eagles, 23-14 at home. While the Rams' fans were representing, there were tons of Eagles fans to balance out the energy in the stadium -- and in most scenarios, it favored the away team. Traveling fan bases are hard to prevent but becoming one dimensional in the second half and being afraid to run the ball when you fall behind is correctable. This young team has faced an incredibly difficult schedule to start the...
