5. Los Angeles Rams

Finally, the Los Angeles Rams were able to put an end to their three-game losing streak this past weekend by blowing out the Atlanta Falcons before their trip to London to take on the Cincinnati Bengals.

When taking into consideration that Cincinnati enters Week 8 still in search of their first win, early signs would indicate an easy win for Los Angeles.

However, desperation tends to bring out the best in teams from time to time, and the Bengals are hitting that point in the 2019 season in which they have nothing to lose, meaning the Rams could be in trouble.

Plus, with Zac Tayor facing his former team for the first time since joining Cincinnati as their head coach, there’s nothing he would love more than to hand Sean McVay and the Rams a loss in this one.

This may seem like an absolute long shot at the moment when comparing the two teams on paper, but crazier things have taken place in the NFL over the years.

If the Bengals can find a way to put on a show for the fans in London to earn their first win of the year, the Rams could fall back to .500 heading into their bye week.
