The stars are aligning nicely for the Los Angeles Rams to finish in first place of the NFC West division and clinch a playoff berth before Week 18. This would potentially allow Sean McVay to rest key starters in the final game against the Seattle Seahawks, which would be an important outcome for a team that has battled injuries this season.
Here’s what needs to happen for the Rams to take the NFC West crown this week:
LA Rams clinch NFC West title with:
- LAR win + SEA loss or tie
- LAR tie + SEA loss
- LAR win + LAR clinches strength of victory tiebreaker over SEA
The Rams clinch the strength of victory over Seattle with 3.
