AI makes game-by-game predictions for Rams: How many wins for LA in 2025?
In less than two months, the Los Angeles Rams will be playing meaningful football games again. They open the regular season against the Houston Texans in Week 1 as they begin their NFC West title defense, looking to go back-to-back as division champions for the first time since 2017-2018.
We already submitted our own predictions for how the Rams' season will go, picking them to finish the year 11-6, which would be one game better than their record in each of the last two seasons. But with artificial intelligence improving every day, we thought it would be fun to see what AI thinks of the Rams.
We asked xAI's Grok chatbot to predict every game on the Rams' schedule and it came back with an even better record: 12-5, with wins over the 49ers, Bucs and Lions, among others. You'll find Grok's score predictions and breakdowns for each game below.
Week 1 vs. Houston Texans
Grok's breakdown: "The Rams open at home against a playoff-caliber Texans team led by C.J. Stroud. Houston's young core is dangerous, but the Rams' revamped offense with Matthew Stafford, Puka Nacua, and Davante Adams starts strong at SoFi."Prediction: Rams win, 30-27.
Week 2 at Tennessee Titans
Grok's breakdown: "The Titans, coming off a 3-14 season, are rebuilding and lack offensive firepower. The Rams' defense, with an improved front, should handle Tennessee's run game, and Stafford exploits their secondary."Prediction: Rams win, 27-17.
Week 3 at Philadelphia Eagles
Grok's breakdown: "The Eagles, fresh off a Super Bowl win, are a formidable opponent with Saquon Barkley and a strong offensive line. The Rams struggled against Philadelphia's run game last year, and the early road test proves tough."Prediction: Eagles win, 34-24.
Week 4 vs. Indianapolis Colts
Grok's breakdown: "The Colts are a middling team with a young QB in Anthony Richardson. The Rams' home advantage and defensive improvements should contain Indy's offense, while Stafford picks apart their secondary."Prediction: Rams win, 28-20.
Week 5 vs. San Francisco 49ers
Grok's breakdown: "A primetime NFC West rivalry game. The 49ers, coming off a 6-11 season, are rebuilding but remain dangerous. The Rams' home crowd and offensive firepower give them the edge in a close contest."Prediction: Rams win, 23-20.
Week 6 at Baltimore Ravens
Grok's breakdown: "The Ravens, a consistent playoff team, are tough at home. Lamar Jackson's dual-threat ability challenges the Rams' young defense, and Baltimore's physicality overwhelms in a low-scoring affair."Prediction: Ravens win, 26-20.
Week 7 at Jacksonville Jaguars (London)
Grok's breakdown: "The Rams face the Jaguars in London, a neutral site. Jacksonville's inconsistent offense struggles against the Rams' improving defense, and Stafford's experience shines in a controlled game."Prediction: Rams win, 24-17.
Week 8: Bye
Grok's breakdown: "A well-placed midseason bye allows the Rams to rest and prepare for a tough second half."
Week 9 vs. New Orleans Saints
Grok's breakdown: "The Saints, coming off a 5-12 season, are in transition. The Rams' offense, led by Adams and Nacua, exploits New Orleans' weak secondary, and the home advantage seals a comfortable win."Prediction: Rams win, 31-20.
Week 10 at San Francisco 49ers
Grok's breakdown: "The second 49ers matchup is on the road. San Francisco's home field and Kyle Shanahan's scheming make this a tougher game, but the Rams' momentum keeps it close. The 49ers sneak out a win."Prediction: 49ers win, 27-24.
Week 11 vs. Seattle Seahawks
Grok's breakdown: "Facing former Ram Cooper Kupp, now with Seattle, adds intrigue. The Seahawks' improved defense is a challenge, but the Rams' home edge and Stafford's precision give them the win."Prediction: Rams win, 28-24.
Week 12 vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Grok's breakdown: "A primetime showdown against a playoff team led by Baker Mayfield. The Bucs' balanced attack tests the Rams, but SoFi's energy and the Rams' offensive depth pull out a thriller."Prediction: Rams win, 30-27.
Week 13 at Carolina Panthers
Grok's breakdown: "The Panthers are still rebuilding, and their offense lacks the firepower to keep up. The Rams' defense dominates, and Stafford coasts to an easy road win."Prediction: Rams win, 27-16.
Week 14 at Arizona Cardinals
Grok's breakdown: "An NFC West road game against a Cardinals team that's improving but inconsistent. The Rams' experience and defensive front overpower Arizona's offense in a close divisional battle."Prediction: Rams win, 24-20.
Week 15 vs. Detroit Lions
Grok's breakdown: "A rematch of recent playoff and season-opening losses to Detroit. The Lions' high-powered offense is a challenge, but playing at home, the Rams' defense steps up to secure a statement win."Prediction: Rams win, 31-28.
Week 16 at Seattle Seahawks
Grok's breakdown: "Another primetime NFC West game, this time on a short week in Seattle. The hostile environment and Kupp's motivation tilt the game to the Seahawks in a tight contest."Prediction: Seahawks win, 26-23.
Week 17 at Atlanta Falcons
Grok's breakdown: "A late-season road game against a Falcons team that's likely fighting for playoff positioning. The Rams' travel fatigue and Atlanta's home crowd lead to a loss in a high-scoring game."Prediction: Falcons win, 34-30.
Week 18 vs. Arizona Cardinals
Grok's breakdown: "The season finale at home against a divisional rival. The Rams, likely in playoff contention, lean on their home crowd and defensive improvements to close the season strong."Prediction: Rams win, 27-20.

Report: NFL fined 100+ players, coaches and employees for scalping Super Bowl tickets
The NFL is cracking down on players, coaches and staffers who have sold Super Bowl tickets for more than face value. About 100 players and about two dozen other employees were fined after an NFL investigation into sales of Super Bowl LIX tickets, according to Rob Maaddi of the Associated Press. All NFL players are permitted to buy two Super Bowl tickets at face value. They are not permitted to sell them for more than face value. Players who were found to have done so are being fined 1.5 times the face value of the tickets they bought, and will not be able to buy tickets to Super Bowl LX in February of 2026 unless their team is playing in it. Non-player employees who scalped their Super Bowl tickers are being fined double the face value. NFL head of compliance Sabrina Perel issued a memo to teams about the league's investigation. 'Our initial investigation has determined that a number of NFL players and coaches, employed by several NFL Clubs, sold Super Bowl tickets for more than the ticket's face value in violation of the Policy,' the memo said. 'This long-standing League Policy, which is specifically incorporated into the Collective Bargaining Agreement, prohibits League or Club employees, including players, from selling NFL game tickets acquired from their employer for more than the ticket's face value or for an amount greater than the employee originally paid for the ticket, whichever is less. We are in the process of completing our investigation into this matter, but the investigation has revealed that club employees and players sold their tickets to a small number of 'bundlers' who were working with a ticket reseller to sell the Super Bowl tickets above face value.' The league is making clear that it takes ticket scalping seriously and will be taking it even more seriously next year. 'In advance of Super Bowl LX, we will be enhancing the mandatory compliance training regarding the Policy for all League personnel, which will emphasize the specific requirements of the Policy and the broader principle that no one should profit personally from their NFL affiliation at the expense of our fans,' Perel said in the memo. 'We will also increase the penalties for future violations of this Policy. All clubs must ensure their personnel understand and comply with this policy. Additional details regarding the enhanced compliance measures will be provided in early fall.' No one implicated in the investigation has been identified publicly.

Jalen Hurts was among NFL, NBA stars at the exclusive Jordan Brand Event in Athens, Greece
Jalen Hurts was recently snubbed in a ranking of NFL quarterbacks, but the Eagles star doesn't have time to focus on individual accolades. The face of the Jordan Brand's NFL roster, Hurts has developed a growing relationship with the former Bulls star and Derek Jeter after winning Super Bowl MVP. Over the weekend, Hurts was part of the Jumpman's 'Board of Greatness' assembly in Athens, Greece, joining a star-studded group that included Luka Doncic, Carmelo Anthony, Maya Moore, Paolo Banchero, Miami Heat's Bam Adebayo, and many more! Hurts and the Board of Greatness also received a pair of exclusive Jordan 1 Lows, which will always be a reminder of his inclusion within the Jumpman's inner circle of greatness. As seen on social media, the custom Jordan 1s come in a white leather base complemented by University Blue accents and a gold BoG hang tag. There have been a myriad of debates concerning where Jalen Hurts lands in the NFL quarterback hierarchy. After appearing in two of the last three Super Bowls, including winning this past February, there's no doubt that the Eagles' star is among the most efficient and dependable at his position. Hurts, crowned Super Bowl LIX MVP, became just the second QB in Eagles history to deliver a Super Bowl Championship to the City of Philadelphia, joining Nick Foles (Super Bowl LII MVP). According to Elias Sports, Hurts is only the seventh NFL QB to appear in multiple Super Bowls and win a championship in their first five seasons. The other QBs who did so are Troy Aikman, Tom Brady, Patrick Mahomes, Ben Roethlisberger, Kurt Warner, and Russell Wilson.

Experts say Chiefs DB Jaden Hicks could be Kansas City's next breakout star
The Kansas City Chiefs will have to reinvent themselves after their defeat at the hands of the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX, and second-year defensive back Jaden Hicks figures to be a key part of the team's strategy in 2025. Hicks, a former Washington State Cougar, earned significant playing time during his rookie season with the Chiefs and is now primed to compete for a starting role in Kansas City's defense after the departure of veteran safety Justin Reid in free agency. In a recent article about potential breakout candidates for each NFL team, the experts at Pro Football Network tabbed Hicks as Kansas City's most promising prospect. Read PFN had to say about Hicks below: " In coverage, Hicks allowed a passer rating of just 79.5 when targeted (14 targets). His steady improvement and ability to step up in big moments have earned him the trust of defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo. " While Hicks still has plenty of room to grow in defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo's system, his outstanding performance last season has certainly warranted high expectations for the soon-to-be 23-year-old.
