It's another week of football for the LA Rams, and that means it's time to take the dark cloth off my crystal ball for another set of sensational scrying predictions for the team. Of course, I won't proclaim to have been perfect in predictions so far this season. But when you consider the reality that nobody knows the future, I will say our Ramblin Fan soothsaying has not gone too far astray.

Still, whenever predictions are made, we tend to go loud and proud with our projections. It's benign to suggest that Rams RB Kyren Williams will rush for 40+ yards in the game. Likewise, a prediction that QB Matthew Stafford will throw over 100+ passing yards won't impress anyone. Water is wet, but who cares?

So when we list out BOLD predictions, we are aiming at something that rarely if ever happens. Those types of predictions are bold because they are far less likely of occuring than not. As such, any successful prediction is a bit impressive. So what are the bold predictions for Week 14?

V: Bills RB James Cook will rush 110+ yards against Rams D

When it comes to Buffalo Bills running back James Cook, he has been both dependable and consistent. But he has seldom been the star of the offense. In fact, he has rushed for 703 yards over 12 games, an average of under 60 rushing yards per game. Unless he faces the NFC West Division. The Buffalo Bills are 3-0 against the division, and Cook has been one of the reasons for his dominance.

Cook rushed for 107 yards and a touchdown against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 13. He rushed for 111 yards and two touchdowns against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 8. And he rushed for 70 yards against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 1. He tends to show up in a big way when playing against the division. Of all NFC West Division teams, the Rams' run defense is by far the worst of the bunch, allowing over 144 rushing yards per game. Don't expect much improvement from the Rams' run defense this week.
