10. Los Angeles Rams (12)

So much for this season being over for the Los Angeles Rams, right?

A few weeks ago when the Rams were embarrassed by the Baltimore Ravens in front of a national audience, Sean McVay’s team seemed to be heading towards a month of January that would see the team watching the playoffs from home.

Los Angeles still has some work to do in the final three weeks since they’re currently on the outside looking in for the final Wild Card spot in the NFC, but the Rams have looked unbelievable over the last two weeks.

Defeating the Arizona Cardinals with ease in Week 13 wasn’t really viewed as that big of a deal, but watching the Rams defeat the Seattle Seahawks 28-12 made a statement how this team can compete with some of the best teams.

As long as Los Angeles continues to stay hot on both sides of the football while winning key games, and receiving help from a few other teams, this could be the last team anyone wants to face opening weekend of the playoffs if it were to happen.

All of a sudden, the Rams could make the NFC playoff race a little more interesting over the next three weeks following Sunday’s win over the Seahawks.
