12. Los Angeles Rams

The Rams will be entering their second year back in Los Angeles.  They will also have second-year quarterback Jared Goff.

What the Rams still won’t have however is eight home games.  They will be the home team eight times but one of those times will be in London against the Cardinals.

The game in London is really the only exciting thing to say about the two scheduled meetings between these teams next season.  I guess it’s something but it sure isn’t everything.

The Rams didn’t do a whole lot to improve in free agency.  They will basically be the same team they were when the Cardinals beat them 44-6 in the 2016 season finale.

For some reason the Rams play the Cardinals better in Arizona though, so of the two games you may want to pay more attention to that one.  Either way, the Rams are likely still a couple of years away from seriously contending.
