Predictions: 2017 L.A. Rams Season, Part III

In the last post, we looked at the L.A. Rams games for weeks 5 - 9.  This time around, we address weeks  10 - 13.   

Week 10: Houston Texans at L.A. Rams

The Texans were a force to be reckoned with last year after spending considerable time without JJ Watt.  He’s back and supposedly healthier than he has been in a while.  This defense was the real deal last year without him for 13 games!  If he is truly healthy and is a return to form, look out AFC!  And, look out Rams in Week 10!!

Advantage Texans.

 

Week 11: L.A. Rams at Minnesota Vikings

This is the game when Sam Bradford will seek (and find!) his revenge on a Rams team who sported a crappy offense and nearly got the young man killed while playing in St. Louis!  The Viking players are said to LOVE playing behind Sammy, and therefore, I think the Vikings are going to rip an unsuspecting Rams team to shreds…

 

Week 12: New Orleans Saints at L.A. Rams

Drew Brees will set many new NFL records this year, and deservedly so!  He’s great and Miami screwed up royally when they declared his shoulder “unhealthy”. 

All that being said, their defense is a MESS!  I think the Rams defense is good enough to hold a hot Saints offense to only being good, but I think the Rams offense, especially the running game, will be good enough to outscore the Saints.

 

Week 13: L.A. Rams at Arizona Cardinals

This time, these two teams meet on American soil and I still don’t see the outcome as different unless Carson Palmer is injured and they’re starting a back-up.  They’ve got Trevor Knight, Drew Stanton and Blaine Gabbert as the folks behind Palmer.   I think the Rams front 7 gives every single one of those gentlemen some serious problems! 

Rams sweep the Cards this year!




So after this installment, the Rams, according to my nearly expert predictions, will be sitting at 7 - 5, which is quite impressive compared to recent years..

Again, I say, Ugh...
