Stafford and Rams Heating Up
Matthew Stafford and the Los Angeles Rams are not that far removed from winning a Super Bowl. Coach Sean McVay likes the look of this team, as they are rounding into form.

Ravens Win in a Tight One
Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens are ready to roll. They know these final five games are huge for them. The Ravens have a chance at winning the division, and honestly, a chance at home field advantage in the AFC. Baltimore knows they have the talent to win games, and a bunch of them. The loss of Mark Andrews hurt, but other guys are stepping up.
This is a talented defensive team, and a group that can run the football. On the other side though, the Rams are playing good football right now. Look for Los Angeles to keep this game close. But, in the end, the Ravens win the game at home. Take the Rams +7, but Baltimore wins the game.
