What the projection is. Adding up a win probability for every game gives an expected total, not a forecast of an exact record. A club projected at 8.7 wins lands anywhere from roughly 5 to 12 in a real season — seventeen games is a small sample and luck moves it several wins either way.

Watch

Record — their lowest-graded department. The hard part is the fixture list: this is one of the league's toughest schedules, which is why the projection is lower than the ratings alone would suggest.

Los Angeles Rams rate 1,574 on the engine's scale, 9th of 32. The league average is 1500 and 25 points equal about one point of expected margin, so the gap to an average club is worth roughly 3.0 points on neutral ground.

In 2026 they scored 24.3 a game (11th in the league) and allowed 22.7 (16th), finishing 3-4.

Their 17 opponents average 1,513, the 8th toughest schedule in the league. Strength of schedule is a fact about the fixture list rather than a forecast, so unlike most preseason numbers it is knowable today.

Adding up our win probability for all 17 games gives an expected 8.7 wins. That is an average across many simulated seasons, not a forecast of an exact record — a club projected at 8.7 finishes anywhere from about 5 to 12 in a real one.

Axes come from the power rating, points scored and allowed per game, last season's record and the mean rating of everyone on the schedule. Play-by-play measures — pressure rate, EPA, red-zone efficiency, line play — are not shown because this site does not store them, and a grade with nothing behind it would devalue the four that are real.

Where We Differ From the Market

The closing line is the sharpest public number in sport. Ours is unblended and stands on its own, so the honest thing is to show where the two disagree and what happened last time they did.

2

25% of priced games pick a different side

Our disagreements lose more than they win. Across 1,139 backtested games, when the engine picked a different side to the closing line it was right 41% of the time — worse than a coin toss. We publish the disagreements anyway, and we publish that record, because presenting them as edge would be selling you the opposite of what the data says. Where we agree with the line, expect the market's accuracy rather than ours.
