Week 1: Los Angeles Rams at San Francisco 49ers
Goff has a pretty rough start to his career in his return to the Bay Area. However, the Rams defense does the job against a paltry 49ers offense as they open the season on a good note.
Prediction: Rams 19 49ers 13
Week 2: Seattle Seahawks at Los Angeles Rams
The Rams start off strong in their first game home game back in Southern California, pouncing early against the vaunted Seahawks defense. The Seahawks storm back in the second half and make it a game, but it’s not enough.
Prediction: Rams 24 Seahawks 19
Week 3: Los Angeles Rams at Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Prediction: Rams 23 Buccaneers 20
Week 4: Los Angeles Rams at Arizona Cardinals
Arizona’s offense picks apart the Rams defense and exploits them throughout the game. The Rams’ undefeated bid ends with a dud as the Cardinals roll.
Prediction: Cardinals 34 Rams 10
Week 5: Buffalo Bills at Los Angeles Rams
Goff throws two quick touchdowns for the Rams as they come out of the gates strong. However, the Bills own the last three quarters, and pound the Rams for their second straight loss.

Week 9: Carolina Panthers at Los Angeles Rams

Prediction: Panthers 24 Rams 21
Week 10: Los Angeles Rams at New York Jets
