Can Rams Finish Strong? ESPN's FPI Predicts Final Games
The Los Angeles Rams' season is all but over after being eliminated from playoff contention with a 5-10 record.
The Rams are now playing for pride, and tanking for a better draft pick like some teams may if they were in the same position is not an option.
After a blowout 51-14 win over the Denver Broncos, the Rams have some momentum to finish off a rather disappointing season.
New projections from ESPN's Football Power Index (FPI) have the Rams splitting their final two games against the Los Angeles Chargers and the Seattle Seahawks.
The model predicts the Rams to lose to the Chargers 49-27 on Sunday, giving them their 11th loss. While in the final week, the Rams will bounce back and finish with a 23-16 win over the Seahawks.
A 6-11 record would put the Rams at 12th in the NFC standings and would complete their fall from grace.
The Rams will play the Chargers on New Year's Day, Sunday, with kickoff set for 1:25 p.m. (C.T.).
