The Los Angeles Rams have the number one scoring defense in the NFL and now they’re getting even closer to full strength with cornerback Ahkello Witherspoon expected to return to the field in Week 13 against the Carolina Panthers. Activating Witherspoon was part of a series of moves for the Rams on Wednesday, which also […]

Bryce Young’s 12 career wins in perspective

As a fan of quarterback prospects, I was ready to go to war for Bryce Young in the 2023 draft, especially in comparison to one of the other top-ranked guys that year, Anthony Richardson. Ironically, people argued that Young would get injured too often and Richardson would look lost in the NFL, but it turns […]

Week 13 NFL picks: Rams tame Panthers on east coast

Why did Rams break trend of not paying LBs with Nate Landman?

Throughout the Sean McVay and Les Snead era in Los Angeles, it has almost been a running joke on how much they have ignored the linebacker position. After paying linebacker Alec Ogletree in early 2017, the Rams cut him five months later. Over the next eight years, the Rams didn’t just not pay a linebacker, […]

Are the Rams peaking too early?

With the Los Angeles Rams dismantling the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday Night Football one week after beating the Seattle Seahawks, this is a team that appears to be moving full steam ahead. They have now won six straight games and are widely considered the best team in the NFL. Head coach Sean McVay has […]

LA Rams news: Did you see who Seattle added?

Quandre Diggs was recently added by the Seattle Seahawks, and that may not seem like a big deal, but he’s a former teammate of Matthew Stafford, and he also has picked off Stafford at least twice (based on my research with Google and Seahawks.com). Could Diggs be the player who disrupts Stafford’s no interception streak […]

The Panthers aren’t even a ‘good’ .500 team

At first glance you see the Carolina Panthers’ 6-6 record and think “they must be a young and improving team on an ascend”. A deeper dive reveals they are mostly a product of a weaker schedule and in part a beneficiary of the hapless NFC South: Week 1 at Jacksonville Jaguars: 10-26 (0-1) Week 2 […]

How critics are nitpicking Matthew Stafford’s MVP campaign

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 […]

Rams Film Review: Did Matthew Stafford win MVP on primetime?

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 […]

Rams-Panthers opening odds Week 13

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 […]

Rams have dominant lead in DVOA

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 […]

Rams Rookie QB Watch: Dante Moore proves himself again

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 […]

Random Ramsdom: Team has seemingly learned from losses

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 […]
