The Los Angeles Rams may not be in first place, but they have the second-best odds of any team in the NFC to make the playoffs. According to NFL.com, L.A. has 81% odds to reach the postseason, bested only by the 5-1 Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Despite only currently being in the NFC’s 7th seed, the Rams have the second-best odds to reach the NFC playoffs already.
The Rams have only lost to the Eagles and 49ers, the current first place team in the NFC West with a 3-0 record against the division, but those are the only two conference games that they have played so far.
The Rams won’t get their next chance to win a conference game until Week 9 against the New Orleans Saints. They couldn’t even get over .500 in the NFC until Week 11 against the Seattle Seahawks, at the earliest.
L.A. is 4-0 again
