The Los Angeles Rams will finally experience what it means to play a first-place schedule. They'll play five prime-time games in 2018, all of them against teams that could wind up in the playoffs. But they'll also travel very little in the first five weeks, giving them a real chance to get off to another good start. Here's a look at how it could shake out for each game.
Week 1: Monday, Sept. 10, at Oakland Raiders, 10:20 p.m. ET
This will be fun. Sean McVay will be facing off against his mentor, Jon Gruden, who will make his return to the Raiders -- and to coaching -- under the bright lights of Monday Night Football.
