Despite losing record predictions, LA Rams boast 5 prime-time games

LA Rams News: Despite prognosticators’ setting Rams record at 7-9 or 8-8, the NFL disagrees, scheduling them to league-high 5 prime-time games

If you look for predictions for the LA Rams 2020 season win-loss record, prepare to be disappointed. Projections run from a low of 6-10 to a meh 8-8 record for the LA Rams in 2020. While we have not yet sanctioned our own 2020 season win-loss projection, it’s safe to assume that it will be no worse than 9-7.

But that is a discussion for another time.  Right now. let’s examine why the surprising dogs of the NFL LA Rams are tied for the league-high prime-time games with five. That is noteworthy because television network programmers have no interest in scheduling NFL dogs.  Television ratings for NFL games run on three basic principals: the popularity of each team in the game, the competitiveness/parity of the contest, and finally, any last-minute breaking news impacting either team.

The LA Rams are one of the most popular teams in the NFL, with a fan base that stretches across the United States. In fact, we are reminded constantly just how far and wide the Rams truly are, as our articles are viewed in all corners of the globe, based on our monthly reports summarizing nations where our views occur.

As far as breaking news, that trends on the timeliness and typically results in teams finding themselves bumped from normal time to a prime timeslot later in the season.
