The Rams won their 5th straight on Saturday night but it didn’t do much for their outlook in this week’s power rankings

The Los Angeles Rams (9-6) will try to extend their four-game winning streak when they host the Arizona Cardinals (7-8) in an NFC West battle on Saturday. Los Angeles has won eight of its last 10 games to take a half-game lead over Seattle atop the division standings.

The NFC North title, and the top seed in the NFC for the playoffs, will come down to game 272 of the NFL season as Dan Campbell's Detroit Lions host Kevin O'Connell's Minnesota Vikings on Sunday night.

Garoppolo signed a one-year deal with the Rams this past offseason after serving as the primary starter in San Francisco from 2019-22 — making a Super Bowl in 2020 — before a rough year in Las Vegas last season. Numerous injuries have set back his career.

With the NFC West wrapped up, Matthew Stafford is among those resting for Los Angeles in Week 18. Simms and Florio agree on whether it'll swing their matchup with the Seahawks -- but disagree on who covers.

After clinching the NFC West last week and locking up a playoff berth, the Los Angeles Rams don't have much to play for in Week 18. They can secure the No. 3 seed with a win over the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday,
