The 11-3 Los Angeles Rams have found a much easier time locking up an NFL Playoff berth than fighting through the NFC West Division. While that surprises nobody, perhaps the Plinko nature of the remaining games on the Rams schedule still holds some surprises. After all, when was the last time we took a broad view of the NFC West?
As it stands today, the NFC bracket of the NFL playoffs look like this:
- Number one Los Angeles Rams - BYE
- 7th-seed Green Bay Packers (9-4-1) at 2nd-seed Chicago Bears (10-4)
- 6th-seed San Francisco 49ers (10-4) at 3rd-seed Philadelphia Eagles (9-5)
- 5th-seed Seattle Seahawks (11-3) at 4th-seed Tampa Bay Buccaneers (7-7)
If you have your heart set on the BYE, the strategy for Los Angeles is simple.
