It’s been common for Mike Clay to undersell the Los Angeles Rams in his projections for ESPN, but did the analyst take it a step too far with his win-loss projections this week? In Clay’s win-loss projections for all 32 teams and the projected standings and playoff seedings, Clay has the Rams winning 8 games (7.9 to be exact) and finishing in third place behind the San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks.
Clay’s projections have the NFC West going like this:
49ers 12-5
Seahawks 9-8
Rams 8-9
Cardinals 6-11
It's time!
