Los Angeles Rams vs Pittsburgh Steelers
Head to head
Preview
How it plays out
Los Angeles Rams vs Pittsburgh Steelers is an inter-conference matchup: the NFC Rams hosting the AFC Steelers. On paper this is about as lopsided as it gets: Los Angeles Rams at 78% to Pittsburgh Steelers's 22%, spread LAR -4. The two sit close in the power rankings (#15 vs #17), so the lean toward Los Angeles Rams is more about matchup and form than reputation.
Tactically, Los Angeles Rams will want to lean on star young WR to attack Pittsburgh Steelers, whose offensive line is the obvious pressure point. Going the other way, Pittsburgh Steelers's physical defense could punish Los Angeles Rams if secondary goes unaddressed. Whoever wins that exchange likely wins the game.
Keep an eye on Matthew Stafford (QB) and DK Metcalf (WR): the two most likely to decide it with a single play. With Rams at home, the model already bakes in roughly a field-goal's worth of home-field edge.
