Last week, after the Seattle Seahawks lost to the league favorite, Los Angeles Rams, the Seahawks saw a dip in their national power rankings. Will a win over the Tennessee Titans be enough to move Seattle up, or the fact that it was only a one-possession win over the one-win Titans be enough to drop […]
Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens are surging, but no one in the league is hotter than Matthew Stafford and the Los Angeles Rams right now.
That, and more, in this week’s NFL playoff picture check-in.

Whether you call it overrated, underrated, or fairly rated, Matthew Stafford is having one of the most unusual seasons by a quarterback in recent history. For example, Stafford’s last 18 touchdown passes have come while the Rams are either tied or have the lead. It’s been almost two months since Stafford threw a touchdown while […]
It seems crazy to say, but at 37 years old, Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford is playing the best football of his career. That also just so happens to be at an MVP level. While Stafford may not be as exciting as Drake Maye, Patrick Mahomes, or Josh Allen, the fact that he’s been […]

Not much change in the NFC West this week. The key players, the San Francisco 49ers, Los Angeles Rams, and Seattle Seahawks, all won. The Cardinals lost again. There’s not much left on the schedule for the Rams. So, unless they go into a massive skid, they probably can win the West. It’s not certain, […]
The Los Angeles Rams (9-2) open Week 13 as -10.5 favorites on FanDuel over the Carolina Panthers (6-6) in Week 13 of the NFL season, and for the uninitiated, 10+ points spreads in the NFL are rare, and typically hard to cover. However, given that the Rams just smoked the Tampa Bay Buccaneers by double […]
Welp, with the Carolina Panthers dreams of a wildcard berth and actually making some noise in the post season quietly washing away last night, we’re back to our weekly ritual of acknowledging the team’s well-earned status as an underdog. This week they are favored to lose to the Los Angeles Rams, one of the best […]
The Los Angeles Rams are 9-2, the 10th time in franchise history that the team has won at least 9 games through their first 11 contests of a season. The last three times that happened, the Rams reached the Super Bowl. –The Rams started 10-1 in 2018 and reached the Super Bowl. –The Rams started […]
With their last three wins coming against teams currently in NFC playoff spots, the Los Angeles Rams are playing outstanding football. Their six-game winning streak is the best in the Conference, and L.A. quarterback Matthew Stafford is the current favorite for NFL MVP. With a better conference record, the Philadelphia Eagles have the edge over […]
The Seattle Seahawks won convincingly on Sunday and the Los Angeles Rams play Sunday night. Seattle can’t pass the Rams because of tiebreakers, but they solidified their spot as the fifth seed and put pressure on L.A. at the same time. The Philadelphia Eagles lost to the Dallas Cowboys, so the Seahawks and Eagles are […]
The Los Angeles Rams took control of the NFC West last week by beating the Seattle Seahawks. In Week 12, they took control of the entire conference with their Sunday night win. The Philadelphia Eagles lost earlier in the day, opening the door for the Rams to move into first place with a win over […]
The Steelers added defensive tackle Anthony Goodlow to their practice squad, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported Monday, citing Goodlow’s agent Hector Ruiz. Pittsburgh hasn’t officially announced the move or any corresponding roster transactions yet. Pittsburgh does currently have an open spot on its practice squad. Goodlow went undrafted in 2024 out of Oklahoma State University. […]
Being on top is a fleeting moment, as the Los Angeles Rams can attest to: This is the first time that the Rams have truly been on top since they won the Super Bowl four years ago. The Rams not only rank first in DVOA, which is Defense-adjusted Value Over Average (think of it as […]
With the Atlanta Falcons getting a win this week, the Los Angeles Rams have dropped back outside of the top 10 in the first-round. If the Rams do drop outside of the top 10, it will make it slightly more difficult to draft a quarterback if that’s something that they end up doing. We’re getting […]
For the first time in his career, Matthew Stafford is set to lead the NFL in a major stat category, the type that typically gets a quarterback named MVP, if not several. Stafford is the leader in touchdowns (30) and passer rating (113.7) with six games to go and the Rams in first place in […]
In case you haven’t heard by now, the Los Angeles Rams are 9-2 and lead both the NFC West division and NFC conference overall. LA is on a six-game win streak and peaking ahead of the final stretch of the season. Their 34-7 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers was dominant. It was a total […]
The Los Angeles Rams proved themselves in primetime as they beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 34-7, on Sunday Night Football. Heading into the game, the Rams had the opportunity to take over as the number one seed in the NFC with the Philadelphia Eagles losing to the Dallas Cowboys. The Rams didn’t just beat the […]
The Los Angeles Rams won their sixth straight game following a 34-7 demolition of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on “Sunday Night Football.” Los Angeles now sits alone atop the NFC standings due in large part to the win, and the Cowboys beating the Eagles in Dallas. So, um, thank you, Cowboys. Yuck, I feel icky […]
When the Los Angeles Rams blew a 19-point lead to the Philadelphia Eagles earlier this year, it was disappointing. When the Rams lost the San Francisco 49ers a couple weeks later, in a game that L.A. was favored in, it was a frustrating and it made fans wonder how far this team could go? The […]
Stakes were high for the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday Night Football. A win would give them first place in the NFC conference. They got off to a fast start against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers—leading early 21-0— and never looked back. The final score of 34-7 extends LA’s win streak to six games and moved […]
Technically, the game isn’t over until the final whistle blows. But, in the case of tonight’s Sunday Night Football matchup between the Los Angeles Rams and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the game was over in the 2nd quarter. The Rams blew out the Bucs 34 – 7 thanks to a 31 point first half. McVay’s Rams […]
Sunday wasn’t a good day for the Philadelphia Eagles. Not only did they blow a 21-point lead in a loss to the Dallas Cowboys … but they also witnessed the Los Angeles Rams dominate the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (interesting to see that the Rams actually tried to add to their 21-0 lead in that game). […]
The Carolina Panthers can take the NFC South lead with a win on Monday night. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers suffered their third straight loss on Sunday night, opening the door for the Panthers. The rest of the top three teams stayed the same in the playoff race, but the order changed. The Los Angeles Rams […]
