The Rams are 6-6 and clearly in the NFC playoff picture,despite entering the season in a rebuilding pharse.

Aaron Donald, Cooper Kupp and Matthew Stafford are still the mainstays, while Puka Nacua, Kyren Williams, and Tutu Atwell have provided a burst of energy and youth to the roster.

Los Angeles is making the trip East, and the time difference, coupled with Baltimore’s stout defense plays a major in a close home win.

Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill is on pace for 2,000 yards, but Baltimore has the defensive fire-power to make Tua Tagovailoa uncomfortable while containing speedsters, De’Von Achane, Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle.
