How might the LA Rams schedule take shape before the official release

We will all know the 2025 Los Angeles Rams schedule soon enough. It is slated to be released at 5:00 pm PT on May 14, 2025. But what of those of us who love a challenge? Can you guess the opponents and BYE week schedule before the official schedule release? It's never easy, as it involves the patience of a jigsaw master, the strategy of a Grandmaster of chess, and the skill of a surgeon.

But it's all in fun anyway, right? So what's the harm in taking some rough guesses from the hip to see how acute your problem-solving skills are? After all, this is nothing more than a heightened game of NFL Sudoku. Instead of a nine-number grid, this grid is 32 teams by 18 games. And to simplify that, you only have to solve for the Los Angeles Rams.

So, what do we think we know so far:

• Week 1 - TBD
• Week 2 - TBD
• Week 3 - TBD
• Week 4 - TBD
• Week 5 - TBD
• Week 6 - TBD
• Week 7 - Los Angeles Rams @ Jacksonville Jaguars (@ Wembley Stadium)
• Week 8 - TBD
• Week 9 - TBD
• Week 10 - TBD
• Week 11 - TBD
• Week 12 - TBD
• Week 13 - (Unconfirmed) Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ Los Angeles Rams (TNF)
• Week 14 - TBD
• Week 15 - TBD
• Week 16 - TBD
• Week 17 - TBD
• Week 18 - TBD

Unlike some teams whose reveals have filled in many games already, the best we have for the Rams are two games.

Our best guesses at games to come

We know who the Rams' 2025 NFL opponents are already. We've examined each NFL opponent on the Rams' schedule already. While there are some difficult challenges ahead, not one team on the schedule should be feared. They are:

Away Games: Arizona Cardinals, Seattle Seahawks, San Francisco 49ers, Carolina Panthers, Atlanta Falcons, Philadelphia Eagles, Jacksonville Jaguars, Tennessee Titans, Baltimore Ravens

Home Games: Arizona Cardinals, Seattle Seahawks, San Francisco 49ers, New Orleans Saints, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Detroit Lions, Houston Texans, Indianapolis Colts

Here is our best guess at the 2025 Rams schedule:

• Week 1 - Los Angeles Rams @ Arizona Cardinals
• Week 2 - Seattle Seahawks @ Los Angeles Rams
• Week 3 - Los Angeles Rams @ Tennessee Titans
• Week 4 - San Francisco 49ers @ Los Angeles Rams
• Week 5 - New Orleans Saints @ Los Angeles Rams
• Week 6 - Los Angeles Rams @ Atlanta Falcons
• Week 7 - Los Angeles Rams @ Jacksonville Jaguars (@ Wembley Stadium)
• Week 8 - BYE Week
• Week 9 - Los Angeles Rams @ Philadelphia Eagles
• Week 10 - Houston Texans @ Los Angeles Rams
• Week 11 - Detroit Lions @ Los Angeles Rams
• Week 12 - Los Angeles Rams @ Seattle Seahawks
• Week 13 - (Unconfirmed) Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ Los Angeles Rams (TNF)
• Week 14 - Los Angeles Rams @ Carolina Panthers
• Week 15 - Los Angeles Rams @ Baltimore Ravens
• Week 16 - Indianapolis Colts @ Los Angeles Rams
• Week 17 - Arizona Cardinals @ Los Angeles Rams
• Week 18 - Los Angeles Rams @ San Francisco 49ers

Based on what we know about the Rams so far, as well as the schedule of all 32 teams, that represents a solid estimation. The NFL is pitting division rivals in Week 1 and likely Week 18. The Rams will likely face an East Coast opponent before traveling to England. After that excursion, the BYE week naturally should fall in Week 8.

Best of all, the above schedule does not conflict with the shared occupancy of SoFi Stadium between the Rams and the Los Angeles Chargers. Are you game? What is your best guess for the Rams' schedule?
