"With their 34-7 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday night, the 9-2 Los Angeles Rams secured the best record in the NFC. It is the first time the Rams have held an outright lead in the NFC since Week 13 of the 2018 season, according to ESPN Research. Coach Sean McVay said while it's "a good thing" to have control of the No. 1 seed with six games to go, the only thing the Rams can control "is to have a great week of preparation.""
""I love the way we've responded from some setbacks," McVay said. "I love the way that we've handled a little bit of success. And through 11 weeks, I'm proud of them. Now let's see what we can do through 12. "And I'm very confident that we're going to give ourselves the best chance to do that because I'm betting on the people in that locker room.""
"Out of the Rams' final six regular season games, they face three teams (the Carolina Panthers, Detroit Lions and Seattle Seahawks) who are currently above .500. ESPN Analytics currently projects the Rams to be the favorites in each of their final six games. Through Week 12, the Rams are Super Bowl favorites. According to ESPN Research, this is the first time the Rams are Super Bowl favorites at any point of a season since December 2018, when they were favorites entering Week 14."
