A raw 2022 LA Rams schedule W-L prediction for the 2022 NFL season

Week 11

New Orleans Saints (Away)

• Date:    Sunday, November 20
• Time:    10:00 am PT
• TV:         Fox

The fans of the New Orleans Saints certainly know how to hold a grudge. It’s been four years since that non-called pass interference and the 26-23 OT loss to the LA Rams.  Whichever side of the fence you find yourself, the NFL officiating has ultimately failed to call obvious penalties that would have impacted the outcome of games for all 32 teams.

These are not the 2018 Saints. These Saints are expected to hover right around .500 football, and they are not expected to show up in the postseason. Would they love to beat the LA Rams? Will they? I really do not think so. I think that the LA Rams win this one by a healthy margin of victory.

Rams (8-2)

Week 12

Kansas City Chiefs (Away)

• Date:     Sunday, November 27
• Time:     1:25 pm PT
• TV:          Fox

I will be deeply surprised if the NFL powers-that-be do not reschedule the Week 12 contest pitting the LA Rams on the road to face the Kansas City Chiefs in some form of prime time slot. For the second time this season, the LA Rams have back-to-back road games. Unlike the earlier pair of road trips, this set moves the Rams across time zones. And on this occasion, the LA Rams face the Kansas City Chiefs.

I think if this were a game for all the marbles, the Rams would put on a better showing. But the Rams could be entering this game with just two losses, and that may take the urgency out of the team’s mindset. The Chiefs have a lot to prove this year, and they will view the Rams on their home field as the litmus test of how far they’ve come. The Rams let this one slip away.

Rams (8-3)
