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.

Former Patrick Mahomes teammate makes admission on Tom Brady
Former Kansas City Chiefs safety Tyrann Mathieu gave an honest response when asked if he believed quarterback Patrick Mahomes was the greatest of all time. While he does think the three-time Super Bowl champion is closing in on that title, he isn't ready to put him ahead of former New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady. "I would say he's a great quarterback, but greatest of all time, I think that's still reserved for Brady," Mathieu said on Up & Adams. "And I think with Brady, that's just longevity. That's respect. That's just playing against this guy on the biggest stages. He was one of the most competitive, accurate. He just had a single mindset to win—win by any means necessary. He was always a challenge to go up against. Being the greatest of all time, I don't think it's like an eight, nine, 10-year thing." Brady, the seven-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback, has beaten Mahomes twice in the postseason—once in the 2018 AFC Championship Game and once more at Super Bowl LV. He also won a Super Bowl with two different football teams after leaving the Patriots for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2020. Mahomes is still only 29 years old and not completely out of the race. Mathieu acknowledged his former teammate might one day go down as the greatest of all time if he stays on his current trajectory. But that's a big hill to climb in a league where teams improve every year. Follow Patriots Wire on Twitter and Facebook.

Matthew Stafford update: How long will Rams QB be out?
The defending NFC West champion Los Angeles Rams invested resources this offseason to ensure they have one of the top offenses in the league. Los Angeles retained left tackle Alaric Jackson and signed three-time first-team All-Pro wide receiver Davante Adams. The Rams continued that investment in the 2025 NFL Draft by selecting tight end Terrance Ferguson in Round 2 and running back Jarquez Hunter in Round 4. Training camp began on July 23 for the defending division champions. They're preparing for what could be a close battle in the NFC West once again. 'Never doing that again': Rams' Jared Verse tested the legendary Aaron Donald There's one key piece that's not on the field, though: quarterback Matthew Stafford. The 37-year-old is entering his fifth year with the Rams but has missed training camp so far with back soreness. Los Angeles coach Sean McVay said Stafford will not return to practice this week as previously hoped. McVay said they're taking a week-to-week approach to his recovery. 'We've got a good plan in place,' McVay said. 'We are going to still take some more time with him, though. Nothing that's changed in terms of the setback. I probably spoke a little bit too soon, but the ultimate goal is [Week 1 game against] Houston and being mindful of that. So we'll take it a week at a time with him." Stafford didn't participate but was in attendance at training camp this weekend. Pittsburgh's new roommates: Aaron Rodgers and DK Metcalf, who could transform Steelers How long will Stafford be out? There's no clear timetable for Stafford's return to the field at training camp as the Rams are taking this week-to-week approach. McVay reiterated that there's no "reason for concern" as to why Stafford won't be practicing. Los Angeles' preseason games start Aug. 9 against the Dallas Cowboys, but it was unlikely Stafford would play in that matchup even if fully healthy. McVay will likely provide more updates in the coming days and into next week about Stafford's availability. Stafford missed just one game in 2024, the regular season finale against Seattle, to rest ahead of the playoffs. In 16 games (all starts), Stafford completed 340 of 517 passes for 3,762 yards, 20 touchdowns and eight interceptions. The Rams went 10-7 during the regular season and advanced as far as the divisional round of the NFC playoffs, where they lost to the eventual Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles, 28-22.
