19. Los Angeles Rams (3-4)

After a miserable opening week, at time the Los Angeles Rams have looked tough to beat.  Other times they look very beatable.  Right now they sit in third place in the NFC West at 3-4.

They had their bye week last week after a trip to London netted them a loss to the New York Giants.  Coming off that bye they host the Panthers this Sunday.

They have four games at home and four on the road in the second half of the season.  The Rams may have a tough time finding offense against some of their competition.

They have road trips at the Jets, Patriots, Saints, and Seahawks still remaining.  In addition to the Panthers, their home contests include the Dolphins, Falcons, 49ers, and finish out against the Cardinals .

They have already beaten the Seahawks and Cardinals.  This is not the time for coach Jeff Fisher to be calling another fake punt from deep inside their own territory.
