Opponent's group in my power rankings at kickoff: Group A Group B Group C Group D Group F

Week 1Thu, Sep 10 vs. San Francisco 49ers (neutral) Opp. rank #8Group B
L 7-27 Line -4 ATS: Did not cover (-24)

49ers 27, Rams 7 (LAR -4). This was an even game in the first half, but the 49ers controlled the ball in the second half, as the Rams looked exhausted from traveling 24 hours beforehand, whereas the 49ers traveled a week earlier. 379-290 SF, 5.9-5.1 SF

Week 2Mon, Sep 21 vs. New York Giants Opp. rank #17Group C
W 28-6 Line -7 ATS: Covered (+15)

RAMS 28, Giants 6 (LAR -7). Jaxson Dart got hurt on the first drive and Jameis Winston struggled in relief. The Matthew Stafford to Davante Adams connection was lethal all night. 481-182 LAR, 8.0-3.3 LAR

Week 3Sun, Sep 27 at Denver Broncos Opp. rank #13Group C
L 26-30 Line -2.5 ATS: Did not cover (-6.5)

BRONCOS 30, Rams 26 (DEN +2.5). The Rams were up 16-0 at halftime and were in complete control, but the Broncos caught fire in the second half. The Rams went up 26-23, but the officials gave the Broncos a win on a silver platter with a horrible call at the end. 482-257 LAR, 5.9-4.3 LAR

Week 4Sun, Oct 4 at Philadelphia Eagles Opp. rank #15Group C
W 24-20 Line -3 ATS: Covered (+1)

Rams 24, EAGLES 20 (PHI +3). The Eagles played terribly for most of the game, but had a 20-10 lead because the Rams made so many mistakes. The Eagles couldn't maintain their lead because they were 0-of-12 on third down. The Rams stormed back with two touchdowns in the fourth quarter. 415-172 LAR, 5.4-3.0 LAR

Week 5Mon, Oct 12 vs. Buffalo Bills Opp. rank #2Group A
L 34-37 Line -3 ATS: Did not cover (-6)

Bills 37, RAMS 34 (LAR -3). The Bills led 13-7 at halftime, but this game turned into a shootout in the fourth quarter and overtime. James Cook lost a fumble in overtime, but the Rams couldn't capitalize because of a blocked field goal. The Bills then moved into field goal position because of two long Josh Allen runs, and they converted on the decisive kick. 454-436 LAR, 7.5-5.9 BUF

Week 6Sun, Oct 18 vs. Arizona Cardinals Opp. rank #27Group D
L 16-18 Line -12.5 ATS: Did not cover (-14.5)

Cardinals 18, RAMS 16 (LAR -12.5). The Rams looked like they didn't give a damn in this game. Matthew Stafford was lethargic, and the defense didn't want to tackle. The Rams took a 16-15 lead late, but Jacoby Brissett hit a deep pass to set up the decisive field goal. 338-286 ARZ, 5.1-4.8 LAR
