Rams' game-by-game predictions for 2015 – STLtoday.com

SEPT. 13 VS. SEATTLE Noon Under Jeff Fisher, the Rams have won 2 of 3 home games against their NFC West rivals; and were RAMS 23, SEAHAWKS 16

throwing for the win late in the loss. For openers, they make it 3 of 4.

SEPT. 20 @ WASHINGTON Noon For a place that holds 82,000, there never seems to be much of a home-field advantage at FedEx Field. RAMS 20, REDSKINS 13

The Rams have always done pretty well here; this day is no different

SEPT. 27 VS. PITTSBURGH Noon The Edward Jones Dome becomes Heinz Field West. The place is overrun by Steelers fans and the Rams STEELERS 30, RAMS 10

are overrun by Pittsburgh. So much for their first 2-0 start since 2001.

OCT. 4 @ ARIZONA 3:25 p.m. The Rams couldn’t beat the Cardinals last year in St. Louis without Carson Palmer at quarterback. CARDINALS 24, RAMS 16

What makes you think they can do it in Arizona with Carson Palmer?

OCT. 11 @ GREEN BAY Noon The Packers simply aren’t as potent without Jordy Nelson. But Aaron Rodgers has the patience and PACKERS 27, RAMS 13

skill-set to negate the Rams’ pass rush and put points on the board.

OCT. 25 VS. CLEVELAND Noon With ex-Ram Austin Davis _ yes, Austin Davis _ at quarterback for the Browns, Cleveland puts up a strong RAMS 19, BROWNS 17

fight before the Rams end their three-game losing streak.

NOV. 1 VS. SAN FRANCISCO Noon Retirements and off-field issues have taken a toll on the once-mighty 49ers defense. Rookie RB Todd RAMS 27, 49ers 15

Gurley and the Rams’ offense begin to find their stride.

NOV. 8 @ MINNESOTA Noon Teddy Bridgewater can play. Mike Zimmer can coach. The combination spells trouble for the Rams VIKINGS 34, RAMS 6

in their first visit to the Twins Cities since 2006 and the days of Scott Linehan.

NOV. 15 VS. CHICAGO Noon Rams win in a romp. Chris Long’s brother Kyle gets thrown out after a fracas. Wait, that was two years RAMS 31, BEARS 27

ago. Even so, Rams hold serve at home to get back above .500.

NOV. 22 @ BALTIMORE Noon The Ravens aren’t much on offense these days, but their defense — as has been the case for years RAVENS 23, RAMS 6

and years — can still get it done. The Rams learn this the hard way.

NOV. 29 @ CINCINNATI Noon The Bengals aren’t a great team, but they’re a solid team on many fronts. And on this day “solid” BENGALS 20, RAMS 16

trumps a Rams squad still trying to generate any kind of late-season momentum.

DEC. 6 VS. ARIZONA Noon Palmer’s still standing as the Big Red’s QB, but this time the Rams get their pass-rush cranked up RAMS 30, CARDINALS 20

and are able to harass the two-time Pro Bowler and former No. 1 overall pick.

DEC. 13 VS. DETROIT Noon It’s back-to-back weeks facing a former No. 1 overall pick at QB. And back-to-back weeks that the RAMS 21, LIONS 20

St. Louis pass rush is able to wreak havoc. This time vs. Matthew Stafford.

DEC. 17 VS. TAMPA BAY 7:25 p.m. How many fans will be in the stands for this one, the team’s only prime-time game of the season, RAMS 26, BUCCANEERS 17

and quite possibly the last home game for the Rams in St. Louis?

DEC. 27 @ SEATTLE 3:25 p.m. OK, at least the Rams aren’t closing the season at CenturyLink Field this time. But it’s pretty darn SEAHAWKS 20, RAMS 13

close and the result is the same _ an 11th straight loss in the Great Northwest.

JAN. 3 @ SAN FRANCISCO 3:25 p.m. Eliminated from playoff contention, the 49ers aren’t playing for anything on this Sunday, and it shows. RAMS 31, 49ers 13

The Rams post their ninth win, the drought of non-winning seasons ends.
