How many games will the Rams win in 2025?

The Los Angeles Rams schedule has officially been released. While the opponents have been known since the end of the year, the order of those games is now official. The Rams are currently set to have four games in primetime and one trip across the pond to London. Five of their division games will take place after Week 10 and the Rams will have the perfect midseason bye week. Let’s break down the schedule with game-by-game predictions.

Week 1: vs. Houston Texans

It certainly won’t be an easy matchup for the Rams in Week 1 against the Houston Texans. While the Texans didn’t meet expectations in 2024, they did make the postseason. CJ Stroud and that offense will be a big test for the Rams defense. This will be the first Rams home opener since they unveiled their banner in 2022 against the Bills. Sean McVay tends to have his team ready to go in Week 1. The Rams defensive line could be a lot for the Texans offensive line to handle. It’s very possible that this is a game that Jared Verse and co. completely take over.

Prediction: Win (1-0)

Week 2: @ Tennessee Titans

The Rams begin the season with back-to-back AFC South opponents. This will be a matchup between two former No. 1 overall picks with Matthew Stafford taking on Cam Ward. There won’t be a lot of film on Ward and the Tennessee Titans defense has some pieces that make them a difficult fixture early in the season. Still, the Rams are the better team here and should be able to get a win.

Prediction: Win (2-0)

Week 3: @ Philadelphia Eagles

Can the Rams catch the Philadelphia Eagles in a little bit of a Super Bowl hangover? It’s certainly possible, but seems unlikely. The Eagles are simply better in the trenches on both sides of the ball. This is the type of matchup that the Rams will need to figure out just how good they are. It will be a good measuring stick. With that said, McVay is 1-5 against the Eagles and 0-3 against Nick Sirianni. With the Rams defense still figuring things out, they suffer their first loss.

Prediction: Loss (2-1)

Week 4: vs. Indianapolis Colts

For the third time in four weeks, the Rams will be playing a team in the AFC South. It will be interesting to see what type of team the Indianapolis Colts are at this point in the season. Will Anthony Richardson be better heading into year three? Is he even starting? This is the type of athletic quarterback that the Rams have struggled with in the past. Richardson nearly got a comeback win against the Rams during his rookie season. With this game in Los Angeles, the Rams will have the upper hand.

Prediction: Win (3-1)

Week 5: vs. San Francisco 49ers (TNF)

The 49ers on a short week is always difficult. This...
