As we sit here on May 11, the national expectations of the 2020 Los Angeles Rams are modest, at best.
Most of the post-draft power rankings I’ve seen have them in the No. 16-18 range. DraftKings’ win total for the Rams is eight. After losing a lot of key players this offseason, the Rams are expected to be average and likely out of the playoff mix for the second straight season, even though the playoffs are expanding to seven teams in each conference this year.
Yet, my thoughts on the Rams’ chances aren’t quite as dire.
