27. Los Angeles Rams 3-4 (25)

After a 3-1 start, the Los Angeles Rams were considered one of the top teams to keep an eye on in the NFC, especially with key wins over the Seattle Seahawks and Arizona Cardinals. Since then, everything has gone down hill for the Rams as it appears these next four games could determine Jeff Fisher‘s fate as head coach with the team.

Fisher is in the middle of his fifth season with Los Angeles, but the head coach has failed to record a winning record. With the team heading into Week 9 with a 3-4 record, and a three game losing streak, it’s not going to get any easier for the Rams with a matchup against the hungry Carolina Panthers.

While the defense has been dealing with numerous injuries, it’s been the offense holding Los Angeles back from reaching their true potential as Case Keenum is coming off a disastrous performance in London where he threw four interceptions against the New York Giants. Fisher can say all he want when it comes to sticking with the veteran at quarterback, but it will be interesting to see if he gets desperate enough to give Jared Goff a shot as the starter.
