There are several different ways to gauge how difficult a team’s schedule is in a given season. You can look at their opponents’ records from the previous year, read what analysts are saying or base it on projected win totals from oddsmakers.
DraftKings Sportsbook released over/under win totals for each team this week, setting the Rams’ line at 8.5 games. While it feels very possible that the Rams will win at least nine games, many of their opponents have higher win total projections.
In fact, seven of them have win totals set at 9.5 games or better, including the league-leading 49ers at 11.5 wins. Here’s where each of the Rams’ 14 opponents stand as of now.
