The Los Angeles Rams are trying to win a Super Bowl in 2021 and have made big changes to their roster this offseason to achieve their goal.
They added quarterback Matthew Stafford and receivers DeSean Jackson and Tutu Atwell to their offense. With Aaron Donald, Jalen Ramsey, and Darious Williams returning, the core of their top-ranked defense is back for another run.
To win the Super Bowl, they will need to have a great regular season. Will it happen? Here's what's likely.

The Cardinals' defense is exposed in this game and even though Kyler Murray puts up a good fight, it is simply not enough as the Rams win.

Week Eight - Oct. 31: at Houston Texans
The Texans limp into this game unprepared and dealing with chaos in the quarterback room. The Los Angeles Rams come in cool, calm, and collected. The game is over in the first quarter as the visiting Rams record an easy win.
Week Nine - Nov. 7: vs Tennessee Titans
The Los Angeles Rams come into the game cocky but struggle to cope with the Tennessee Titans' running game and end up losing.

Trey Lance is the starting quarterback at this point, and the San Francisco 49ers are struggling in his rookie year. The Los Angeles Rams win by 16 points.
Week 12 - Nov. 28: at Green Bay Packers
If the Los Angeles Rams end up playing Aaron Rodgers then they lose this game. However, as Aaron Rodgers is not a Green Bay Packer after being traded, the Rams win in convincing fashion.

Week 14 - Dec. 13: at Arizona Cardinals

Week 18 - Jan. 9: vs San Francisco 49ers
The Los Angeles Rams win the game. Trey Lance puts together a solid performance but the Rams win by three points.
Los Angeles Rams Season Prediction: 12-5
The Los Angeles Rams will start 2021 a little slow but will quickly find their groove in the middle of the season. They will stumble towards the finish with back-to-back losses but will ultimately head into the playoffs feeling good after a commanding win against the San Francisco 49ers.
Once in the playoffs, it seems likely that Matthew Stafford will be able to beat a low seed and will struggle against Tom Brady and the Buccaneers in the next round.
